TOM HANKS GRACES US, IN THIS SEMI-DARK POLITICAL SATIRE, WITH HIS BEST ROLE SINCE 2004'S PHENOMENON, LADYKILLERS. HIS CHARACTER, TEXAS CONGRESSMAN CHARLIE WILSON, IS A TRUE SUPPORTER OF AMERICA'S FOUNDATION: XENOPHOBIA, STRIPPERS, DRUGS AND BOOZE. GOD BLESS TEXAS. JULIA ROBERTS ALSO MANAGED TO SASHAY THROUGH THIS FILM PLAYING THE SAME CHARACTER SHE'S PORTRAYED IN EVERY MOVIE SINCE MYSTIC PIZZA: WOMAN WITH APE MOUTH AND SMALL TITS. WHY PEOPLE FIND HER AMUSING, I'LL NEVER KNOW. I THINK CASTING HER IS JUST PLAIN RUDE. THE STUDIO COULD'VE CAST MR. POTATO HEAD AND VIEWERS WOULD STILL SAY, "WOW, DID YOU SEE THAT JULIA ROBERTS? SHE LOOKED MUCH ROUNDER AND BROWNER THAN USUAL BUT THAT'S WHAT YOU CALL 'METHOD ACTING.'" ASIDE FROM JULIA'S STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE, THIS MOVIE IS HIGHLY ENTERTAINING. THE BEST CHARACTER IS HOFFMAN'S CIA AGENT WHO BARES ABOUT AS MUCH RESEMBLANCE TO THE STEREOTYPICAL SPY AS I DO TO ASPARAGUS. HOFFMAN'S INTERNATIONAL MAN OF MYSTERY IS CRUDE, SLOVENLY, AND HYSTERICAL. HE COULD'VE HELD THE ENTIRE MOVIE HIMSELF. FOR HOFFMAN ALONE, ALONG WITH A DESCENT SCRIPT, I RECOMMEND SEEING THIS OVER THE HOLIDAYS.
