"We need to create a dynamic moment in this campaign or we're dead." During the historic election of 2008 John McCain was trailing Barack Obama and was in danger of falling farther behind. He was losing all demographics and with the Republican convention approaching he needed a shot of life to his campaign. He got it in his choice for running mate. Sarah Palin gave them the jolt they wanted, but this movie shows the cost of that bump. I am a huge political junkie and was looking forward to this movie. I will start by saying the the acting is incredible. Ed Harris looks and sounds like John McCain and Julianne Moore pulls off the impossible, she may be a better Palin then Tina Fey. The actual movie though is just OK to me. I liked it and could really go either way with Palin but it felt to me like almost one long attack on her. Could have just been me but the movie portrayed her as almost bi-polar and dumber then we think she is (which is hard to do). I recommend this and I did enjoy it but I'm interested to see how much of this is accurate and how much is "doctored" for dramatic license. Overall, not bad, I'm just not sure how truthful the movie is. Worth seeing though. I say B.
