...President Bush is undoubtedly the newsmaker of the year. Is he, however, a "revolutionary"? In your article, the Bush who no longer needs to win an election came across as a pugnacious thug, his swaggering, loves-to-be-hated style more brash than visionary. TIME said he was a "punk at heart" and recalled his college days of wearing cowboy boots and a bomber jacket on campus during Vietnam War protests. Was he an outsider then, as you suggest, or was he then-and is he now-the ultimate insider, a protected son of wealth and power who has little...

...corporate life, but its conclusion refuses to really address the issues it brings up. There is an undercurrent to the entire movie reinforced by its far-too-easy deus ex machina that says that the world should revert to the traditional archetypes of the 1950s. It is a frustrating punk-out that a movie so interested in looking at modern mores should seem like it could be a remake of a 1950s Cary Grant-Warren Beatty comedy.
