What a ridiculous piece of right wing propaganda. There is really nothing more to say. If you are a member of the hard right, this laughable, throw away, made for cable fluff piece will go over quite well. If you are at all grounded in reality, prepare yourself for a truly breathtaking circle jerk of epic proportions. It is even more laughable now than it was two years ago, in light of the 9/11 commission and recent events which I'm sure I don't have to go into. If what you want is an honest look at the workings of the administration right after the disaster of 9/11, look elsewhere. However, if you're looking for a huge laugh--albeit a very galling laugh--or, if you're a Bush supporter, I highly recommend it.
The only thing to be said about the cast is that they are adequate, and in most instances, they managed to cast actors with an uncanny resemblance to their real life counterparts. Performances? Portraying living public figures is always a problem. You need extremely skilled actors AND a good script to really pull it off. These people were not only saddled with having to realistically portray people EVERYBODY is familiar with, but the script is lame brained as well, nothing more than a right wing mouth piece. What were they supposed to do? I thought it was delicious that Timothy Bottoms was cast as Bush, since he played the president in the comedy series, "That's My Bush." Alas. This time, they WEREN'T kidding.
