One Paragraph Review: Charlie Wilson's War

This is one of those reviews where I make a disclosure which should make you question my critics license: I more than loved the book Charlie Wilson's War and I'm a fan of Aaron Sorkin's work. So what do I think when you put them together? A wonderful, hilarious and even poignant movie. Charlie Wilson's War was just great. Endlessly funny, with the kind of writing and physical comedy you find in Sorkin's good TV works, but also managing to make an important point about people and history. Of the larger lesson about history and foreign affairs, take it or leave it. Tom Hanks and Phillip Seymour Hoffman nail it and you shouldn't miss it.
