A Janney pulls off a stunning piece of physical comedy in the first minutes of the film. I've watched it over and over and wonder how she did it without hurting herself.... it must have been rehearsed with ballet intricacy. Plus she is hilarious in subsequent scenes. I laugh every time i see it. A positive aspect of this film is that when it lags, a talented actor shows up in a small role (Rob Reiner, Larry Hagman) to help push it along. Travolta and Thompson, however are true revelations. I just finished Bill Clinton's autobiography and it's interesting to juxtapose it with the fictional view of a high level campaign worker. If I watch "The War Room" now, I'll just get morbidly nostalgic for the good old days.
