Will have to pass as two of my least favorite people are in it.

Sorry. MAYBE I'll check it out for Forest Whitaker and some of the others, but I usually go out of my way to avoid Oprah due to the quacks and hacks she supports (and the people who fall for it all).

[Trixxee]

Labs, you're killing me..... LOL.

(I thought Forest Whitaker had died though).

Where are my liberal friends...................... ????

I blacklist anything Jane Fonda is involved with and I'm with Labs regarding Oprah

[Harborwitch]

I'm with you Jean! Hopefully it will be in a theater here.

I like Oprah - I figure I don't have to like all the people she's had on the show, but she is a generous person and a heck of an actress!

I'm not fond of Jane Fonda . . . but there's a certain irony in her playing Nancy Reagan.

Kind of sorry I posted this.....

Just watched the trailer. Personal feelings aside, I can't wait for this to come out.
