Excellent
Great acting, well written, superb production values, a nice history lession and extremely relevant today. Couldn't make a better film choice today. And it's even very funny at times too!

Interesting but not groundbreaking
My son (15) and I had a good time. The story is interesting and the movie is well done. yet, I was expecting more with such a cast.

A great Americana
Despite being a little too idealistic about America's involvement during this period, I found the movie highly entertaining. I would recommend this to anyone interested in American Politics and who wants to see Tom Hanks do a killer job as usual.
I think the intricacies of the planning could have been done better but that it probably would have taken away from learning more about Charlie's personality. The audience laughed pretty heartily at parts and just about everyone walked away from the theater trying to figure out some of the details that were left unanswered.
Overall, I give it a thumbs up.

Comedy was great!
Some of the propagandish portrayals of anti-soviet policy during the cold war bothered me a bit. I guess it's supposed to be a story of a 'fck-up' in american foreign policy. But, at times it doesn't come off that way. We are making the same mistakes in Iraq. This bothers me to no end.

Charlie Wilson's War
We thought it was incredibly well done! Gave info we were not aware of re: Afghanistan, et. And a confirmation of how we feel our government/congress works/doesn't work with our tax dollars. Tom Hanks was wonderful!!
This is my third attempt to submit a review...what is going on? A bit discouraging and time waste
