Frost/Nixon is well-crafted (what does that mean nowadays, anyway?) but pretty boring and bland. I guess that was to be expected with Mr. Howard at the helm. I'm amazed at how heavy-handed and clunky he is as a storyteller at times, still. It picks up when the interview gets underway, but the opening in particular is snoozeville.
Positive note: Sam Rockwell and Oliver Platt as two of Frost's collaborators. They have a couple of great scenes together, and inject some well-needed energy into the proceedings.
