My DH and I saw this today. I enjoyed it. It was interesting, to me, to see what happened behind the scenes during that time. A lot of funny dialogue to go along with the serious stuff. I thought Tom Hanks was terrific.

Interview with Charlie Wilson in 2003 about the book that the movie was made from:

Julia Roberts played Joanne Herring. This is her website. She's quite an interesting woman, and I thought Julia Roberts did a good job in her role.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman is wonderful in this...a scene stealer.

I LOVED this. If Phillip Seymour Hoffman doesn't win an oscar for this role something is wrong with the movie world. He is amazing in this role.
This is a must see for the holiday season.

I saw it last night and loved it!! I was glad to see that Charlie Wilson knew that , because they, against his advice, abandoned Afghanistan after winning the war, trouble would later ensue - I give you the taliban!!
