Peculiarly uninvolving, I don't know why this movie had no emotional content for me. Perhaps Charlie Wilson, as played by Hanks, being a pig, Roberts being a prig, poor directing and acting making the women appear as children\strippers sexpots. Bad script making the women all charicatures and men all serious and importantant. 2 stars out of 5.
