Trivia:
Director David O. Russell attended a fund raiser for George W. Bush at a Warner Brothers executive's house. Russell walked up to Bush and said, "Hi, I'm editing a film that will question your father's legacy in Iraq." Bush shot back, "Well I guess I'm going to have to go back there and finish the job."
