HBO did a dramatization of the 2000 presidential election, focusing on the problems of Volusia and Palm Beach counties in Florida. The movie was well done and entertaining, although it was obviously skewed in the direction of then VP, Al Gorge. Wait...he wasn't Gorge back then...he was just Gore without the stomach.

There were some funny moments provided by comedian/actor Dennis Leary. In one scene he was talking to a democratic strategist (played by Kevin Spacey) and Leary said: "You have to fucking wake these fuckers up, because if they don't stop fucking around, there won't be any fucking tomorrow for any-fucking-body." Spacey looked at him and said, "Do you know you say 'fuck' a lot?"

In any event, it was a good, interesting watch, even if they did go a little too quickly through the undeniable fact that NO ONE knows who REALLY won. Did President Bush? Maybe. Did VP Gore? Again, maybe. It is still in doubt, but it is also 8 years since the election, and 7 beyond 9-11, so it really doesn't matter at this point.

Laura Dern turns in an award winning performance as billionaire sociopathic snob Katherine Harris, right down to the awesome boobage that the real-life Mrs. Harris has packed up top. The question is, are they live or are they memorex?

I give this one 3 bananas.
