Richard Dreyfuss Criticizes 'W', Slams Oliver Stone On 'View' (Video)

Richard Dreyfuss appeared on 'The View' to publicize 'W' but instead of praising the film, he criticized both the movie and director Oliver Stone.

Dreyfuss, who plays VP Dick Cheney in the Bush biopic, told the ladies he said yes to the film for 'money'. That may have been a joke, but he wasn't laughing. And that he thought "it's 6/8ths of a great film." And although the acting and writing was good, there was no conclusion to the movie, and he didn't think it would "have any historical legs."

Asked what it was like to work with Oliver Stone, Dreyfuss said "imagine working for Sean Hannity... you can be a fascist, even when you're on the left."

Dreyfuss said the two of them "didn't get along" and he accused Stone of liking "anxiety, stress." Stone "likes to breed that," he said, whereas he hates "the word 'challenge'" and believes "everything should be fun."
