I've already commented on Oliver Stone a bit. He has some talent but I often cringe at the way he portrays historical incidents. W seems like a TV movie of the week type of thing, very cheesy, and often stooping low. However, it does have some strong points, the first being Josh Brolin's performance as the title character. He nabbed the supporting actor Oscar this year for Milk, but he's excellent here as well.
Everyone here is more or less portrayed as a parody of their real selves, so if you can get by that a bit and not dwell on Stone's motives there, then this is a fairly entertaining film. A 5 rating.
