The shock of State of the Union, Capra's last movie in a political vein, is its technical sloppiness.

It's a pleasure to watch because of the talent on display-and, this is me so let's be real, because its climactic scene is about the joys of public self-abasement.

So-so political comedy reflects lesser work by all.
