Glad they replaced Moore with Davis

Moore might've been interesting, but I've thought for years that Hope Davis would be a perfect Hillary , that she looks and sounds uncannily like her, mannerisms and everything. If she works on the voice and has the appropriate hairstyle she'll be perfect.

This was good casting. It isn't a very good movie, but in some scenes Hope is a dead ringer for Hillary. She also sounds just like her and does her maniacal laugh perfectly.

Agree on both counts. This final third of the "Blair Trilogy" is disappointing compared to The Deal and The Queen--I'd like to think that's because Stephen Frears didn't direct this one--and Hope Davis stole every scene she was in. Her Hillary was spot-on. Definitely the brightest spot here.

Yes, I noticed long before that Hope Davis speaks in similar way and it was nice to see others thought so too.
