If you're going to write a script about real people and a real era, you should be diligent in making it realistic as possible. The script writer, who was also the director didn't seem to do either.
Rudolph's script comes across as someone has no self knowledge that they're the most annoying person in the room where in their own mind, they believe themselves to be witty and charming.
Perhaps a better director could have extracted better performances out of Gary Basaraba & Tom McGowan but I doubt it. They can't rise above the material where the rest of the cast has the talent to try.
This is a great example of having a great idea and a mostly talented cast but the execution is poor.
