Aaron Sorking raises the same questions as Shakespeare did or does. How
could they possibly know so much about the inner workings of palace
life. Here like in The West Wing, Sorkin opens surprising doors that
are hardly a shock but seem ton confirm our worst fears. Everything is
so casual and at the same time so directly responsible for so many
people's lives. A puffy Tom Hanks tells us one way or another that
things can be manipulated with semi pure intentions but without
weighing the consequences and Julia Roberts in a blond southern hairdo
reminds us of the powers harbored in the sidelines. The subject is
serious but the treatment is light, intelligent but light. Philip
Seymour Hoffman, as the invisible middle man, steals every scene he is
in, just like Charles Laughton did in every movie he was in.The
dialogue is fast but not fast enough for us not to catch up and
discover that this is not an ordinary comedy. The seemingly casual pace
filled with strokes of wit and provocation grants another badge of
honor in the Mike Nichol's collection.
