Ferrell provides hilarious insights into Bush's childhood, his academic and social career at Yale, his stint as a baseball team co-owner, his emergence into politics, and his cherished if checkered tenure in and (frequently) out of the White House. It is 91 min. long. As a "potboiler" to this film the audience will be treated to an hilarious clip filmed by Elfie Ballis of Richard Stone's "George W. Bush" in "Esperanza Y Luz: a Tale of Two Immigrant Women". Wheelchair accessible. Free to the public. (NO MID-DAY SHOWING IN JULY)
