Waste of time

Dreadfully Boring

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

If you are a typical leftist who has bought into the media-manufactured image of Sara Palin as hateful and ignorant then you will not like this. If you like Sara Palin then you will like maybe love this movie. It is unapologetically a conservative and Pro-Palin perspective. But guess what there is nothing wrong with that. It does not try to present itself as anything but that. That said, even if you don't like her or are ambivalent but are not a mindless lemming so indoctrinated by MSNBC, Keith Olbermann, Bill Maher etc that the mere mention of Sara Palin causes you to cringe then you would probably like this.One reviewer said that it was as biased as a Michael Moore film (which it is) but then condescendingly wrote "...but at least Michael Moore brings awareness to a particular subject of topical interest rather than simply shameless self-promotion." What an absurd comment. Of course it's self-promotion. It's about her life. Her life is the topic so it's also absurd to suggest she has no awareness of the topic. Now unlike Moore she does not have to resort to making things up and misrepresenting the facts.The film is divided up nicely in three sections; her years as mayor, her years as governor and her VP campaign and the post-campaign years since then. What I found most insightful was the more in-depth accounting of what she accomplished as mayor and governor and what she was up against and the issues that were so peculiar to Alaska. I also really appreciated hearing about why she resigned as governor. Suffice it to say, it wasn't quite as simple as most of the media portrayed which was basically that she wanted to leave Alaska and be famous.Is it self-promotion? Yes. Is it factual? Yes. And given how she is attacked and misrepresented by most of the media it was nice to see something positive about her. She had an approval rating of 88% right before McCain called her. You don't get an 88% approval rating by being ignorant and hateful. There is nothing wrong with self-promotion if you can back it up and Sara Palin can.

I loved the film and as an Alaskan I have admired Sarah Palin's tenacity, integrity and boldness to do whatever it takes to rid politics of corruption. The film was a very refreshing contrast to the dung heap that is the main street media. It is unfortunate that so many intellectual light weights buy into it. Sarah Palin represents all that is good in America. She is strong, quick witted, intelligent, charismatic, and is representative of the everyday working class individual. Sarah Palin believes in fiscal responsibility, small government (as was the intention of our founding fathers), and a strong military. As the film indicates,she has set the liberal left into a tail spin and has been prominent in changing the discourse in American politics. The paid Soros' hacks writing the negative reviews don't know quite what to do with her. I am not a friend, relative, nor do I have any connections to Sarah Palin, just an everyday working class person.

This movie tells the true story about Sarah Palin's record as governor of Alaska. She not only took on the big oil companies, but she also took on the corrupt politicians within her own Republican party. Her campaign for Governor is the very definition of grass roots. She went to the people and was able to connect with them. The very things that Sarah Palin dealt with in her home state are what needs to be dealt with in Washington. She is not afraid to take on any politician no matter what party they are affiliated with. Whether you like Palin or not, this documentary is worth the watch. It gives the viewer insight into the life of a woman who is obviously very polarizing in the political spectrum.

Good rebuttal to the character assassination by the media at large. I found the documentary interesting, and it filled in some info gaps. Obviously, it's a "fluff piece," but I think she deserved it, given the unabashed and undeserved criticism she has had to endure.It's ironic that she championed "the little people" but has been hammered by the libs and press. It's likely because she's 1) a mom, 2) a rural person, 3) she didn't attend a schmancy college, 4) she is a woman of the Christian faith, and 5) she is a conservative, and as such, all hell was unleashed against her.I recall when I heard her VP acceptance speech that it was electrifying, honest, and fresh. That's why people hate her. Go Sarah!
