    Yes, indeed, a love letter this is, but 41 is better than rank puffery because it also takes the full measure of Bush.

    The result is a gentle, respectful and thorough biography that is 100 minutes of no news and no fresh insights.

    Producer/director/co-writer Jeffrey Roth spent extensive time with the man and endeavors to humanize him, but ultimately delivers a film long on biography and short on insight.

    A puffy documentary by Jeffrey Roth about President George H.W. Bush that ends up being a boring and uninformative disservice to the former president.
