Yes, indeed, a love letter this is, but 41 is better than rank puffery because it also takes the full measure of Bush.
The documentary doesn't pretend to be anything other than a homage to a good man who served his country well in war and peace.
The result is a gentle, respectful and thorough biography that is 100 minutes of no news and no fresh insights.
41 is less an example of close and personal than up-close and fawning.
So hard-hitting it's not.
Picking up a copy of the Washington Post from any day in his presidency would likely provide more insight into the man who led the Free World when the Berlin Wall fell and later launched the first Gulf War.
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.
