This uncreative and unfulfilling premise—hello “Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion”—proves as dull and hackneyed as expected. Miri makes a fool of herself by hitting on her high school crush, Bobby (Brandon Routh), who is clearly gayer than Richard Simmons.

...light on an already over-exposed political figure. Instead, Stone settles for a hastily-constructed biopic of George W. Bush that unskillfully combines a sometimes comedic tone with serious subject matter. “W.” is neither provocative nor riveting; it’s simply dull and conventional...
