Amazon.com: Here's another example of TV giving James Woods the chance to stretch out from the intense-psycho roles he seems restricted to in too many of his movies. In My Name Is Bill W. he plays Bill Wilson, the overreaching businessman from the Roaring '20s who went on to found Alcoholics Anonymous. Woods gets plenty of chances to stretch out here in Bill's headlong slide to the bottom, through the terrors of the Wall Street crash (which amplifies a two-fisted drinking problem) and into the loss of everything he holds dear. Yet Woods also is convincing as the man who understands just how insidious his disease is and learns to try to take everything one day at a time. He receives strong support from James Garner as the alcoholic physician who teams with Bill to make AA a viable proposition. --Marshall Fine

Rating: - Wonderfully Done
Depicts the basic story behind the founding of Alcoholics Anonymous wonderfully. Several points in this video capture the desperation and utter hopelessness felt by one with the disease. The scene where Bill & Bob are talking on a street corner and see one drunk helping another drunk spells out the whole of the basis why AA works.
Rating: - Decent Film
I'm not sure of the historical accuracy of this film, but it is a good film. It does a very good job of illustrating the addict's reality.
Rating: - Inspirational and Entertaining
Although not for everybody, this film gives us insight into the struggles of Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob the founders of AA. I think the acting was excellent. The characters were portrayed wonderfully by James Woods and James Garner. I learned a lot from this film and would recommend it to anybody who is involved in a 12 step program or works with recovery.
Rating: - My Name is Bill W
This is a very moving story. If you or anyone you know has a problem with addictiion. It helps you to realy understand what AA is all about.
Rating: - Awsome !!!!
As a recovering person of 21 years, the movie helped me get in touch with so many feelings. Mostly gratitude for what I have but also the feelings of hopelessness, shame, and despair. So very close to Bill's Story in the Big Book. I use it to show new people in recovery how it all started.
