A bit painful to watch.  Jason Reitman directed, around the time of Front Runner, so therefore about a dozen years after Thank You for Smoking.

While I thought this was an intriguing idea, I only laughed once, so I wouldn't say that it succeeds as a comedy.  Director Jason Reitman adapted Christopher Buckley's novel.

Flat story of Senator Gary Hart, played by Hugh Jackman.  Since I remember the '80s, I feel like this could've been a heck of a lot more interesting, maybe with a better director than Jason Reitman.  Matt Bai co-wrote the screenplay based on his book All the Truth Is Out, a less generic title.
