When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

I did watch this movie with an opened mind. It is a documentary about "part" of Sarah Palin's life. I enjoyed it. You cannot watch this movie expecting special effects or amazing story. It's a documentary about her life. PERIOD. I read some of the reviews and it seems that people were expecting something else. It's a documentary.Where I'm shocked is when I realized how much hate there is towards her. Most from the "Left". I knew that the "Left" never liked her. I guess you always fear threats to yourself. They called her stupid in every way possible. Can't be worse of what's in Washington now! Anyhow, strangely enough, most reviews you read about this documentary reflect the first minute of this film. Pure baseless hate, if only by fear.Yes, I learned from that movie. Learned to appreciate strength of character. Learned that the "Left" needs to develop skill of debating issues and not simply hate. Go ahead, start hating me... But you must appreciate this movie for what it is, a documentary about a very strong woman, a woman who never said one bad word about anybody and yet keeps being hit by mindless commentators.

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 think based on this rating that has been given, it is by most likely by people who have SPDS (Sarah Palin Derangement Syndrome) and didn't even see the film. I have shared this with friend who are not politically aligned with me, and they found it very informative. But if people want to truly be open minded they'll watch it and not take the lies and bait that HBO and the left wing offer. See http://www.reelz.com/undefeated/ for time and channel this Sunday Mar 25 5:30 PM I saw Game Change and it was Garbage. Sarah is quite smart, not at all like the phony portrayal HBO produced based on a disgruntled quite disgusting set of Steve Schmidt fabrications and prevarications.

When Sarah Palin was introduced to the "Lower 48," we where told generally about her successes in Alaska. This documentary goes into great detail about what she did locally and state-wide. If people had known this information in 2008, she may have won. Anyone interested in knowing the truth about Palin needs to watch this. The film begins with clips of Liberal Hollywood types and various media personalities casting Palin in a very dark light. Their criticism is so vulgar and over-the-top it's difficult to watch. The film contains rare photos and film of Palin at a young age. And uses clips of Palin from her audio book, "Going Rouge."
