The Undefeated, a documentary about Sarah Palin, opened on Friday to virtually empty theaters and dismissive reviews from even the more objective film critics.

The Atlantic describes the film as "framing its subject as a Christ-like savior of an America that’s lost its fiscal and spiritual way," and The Village Voice calls it "less a documentary than a glowing two-hour infomercial for Sarah Palin, Presidential Candidate To-Be." The Undefeated currently carries a 34 approval rating on movie review aggregator MetaCritic.com.

The film opened on 10 screens across the United States and The Atlantic's Conor Friedersdorf reports that during the showing he attended in Orange County, Calif., the audience consisted of just him, two women who left after 20 minutes, and a couple who came to make out in the back of the theater, but departed before the film was over.

Still, Palin may make it to a podium come awards season. In an interview with Los Angeles Times, John Wilson, founder of the Razzie awards, which honor the worst in film, thinks Palin could emerge victorious. "She's the political equivalent of what the Razzies are all about," Wilson says. "And she's hysterically funny if you don't stop and think, Oh, my God, she could've been vice president!"
 
Her delusion is embarrassing enough without documenting it...what is she thinking?

OK, now THAT is hilarious.
 
I thought the entire concept was dumb. If you are going to do a documentary on the Tea Party movement, document the movement.
 
Whatever studio exec came up with the name 'The Undefeated' for this movie and deciding to release it the same weekend as Harry Potter should be rewarded for his excellent timing and sense of irony. The only thing that could have possibly saved this piece of crap is if she had a nude cameo in the Deathly Hallows Part II making out with Voldemort, and he turned it into a horcrux out of pity.

Well the film in question is not about Obama nor is the thread.

Not to mention a few sequels, a spin off television show, and re-released IMAX 3D version. And the beauty of it is that even if liberal Hollywood gets a braindead chimpanzee to faceroll a keyboard and uses that garbage as a script, it won't be anywhere near as bad as this piece of crap Palin released, i'm sure. In fact, I don't know why the people behind 'The Undefeated' didn't secure a braindead chimp to produce a script for her film. There were plenty of them that supported her during the last election.

/Ultrapartisanship off

Seriously, though, who thought it would be a good idea to make a stupid movie like this? She had her bus tour, she scored points with the anti-intellectuals by not knowing a thing about the history of Paul Revere, and gosh darnit, the far right really like her ideology. With those folks secured, she could start pushing for the moderate vote next year. And by "pushing for the moderate vote", I mean releasing a few semi-nude pics. Not revealing enough to rile up the base, of course, but showing just enough flesh to ignite the fire of patriotism in every red-blooded, heterosexual, American male who can punch a button in the voting machine.
 
OP pic looks like Merkel.

I would totally watch that
 
This lady craves attention. Its really sad how poorly she treats her fellow GOP running mates. This is nothing but a last attempt of her to get her last seconds of spotlight glory. She is always stealing the spotlight whenever a fellow GOP running mate has a major announcement, or makes a surprise visit to a city.... Palin always seems to steal the focus, and put it directly on HER! This lady is crazy, and this is proven by the fact she still believes she can win the presidential election, even after American polls show she has no shot in hell.

This lady reminds me of Paris Hilton, an attention craving scum-bag, who posesses no life skills besides an appealing voice and mentality. I have NEVER heard this lady stand up and provide an actual solution to her constant bashing. Anyone can point out a problem, it takes a real person with brains to point out an actual solution, and she has neither.

The scary part is this lady has a loyal backing, which is a direct example of how Americans vote on entertainment and populist appeal, instead of real facts.

thank you once again for your stellar contribution.
 
Wow, a documentary about a person who has done bugger-all failed? I'm shocked I tell ya.
 
Sarah Palin - Defeated. Sorry Sarah....your fifteen minutes are up....despite our attempts to keep you in the spotlight. I still hope that her ego is as large as it appears and that she runs.....but I'm beginning to doubt it.
 
When's the last time that a conservative started a thread about Sarah? Why are liberals infatuated with her?

Actually, SypherAL; I believe the polls show she has no chance in hell as things currently stand. If she comes out of retirement and back into the spotlight, those numbers would change, dramatically and quickly. She would easily eclipse probably everybody but the front runner.

Why? Because we are desperately trying to keep her relevant because we believe that she will bring down the GOP. Why do you think liberals love Sarah Palin more than Republicans?

We love train wrecks. Besides, we are absolutely overjoyed that conservatives would support such an idiot. It's actually fun.
 
I thought the entire concept was dumb. If you are going to do a documentary on the Tea Party movement, document the movement.

I think the title suggests it's a documentary on Tea Party but ... after checking out some clips, it becomes obvious, it's all about Palin, the film seems to be done in a way to promote her candidacy for 2012 run. So it's the focus seems a bit bait and switch. Of course it's done by Palin camp so you can't really expect anything else.
 
Since the Tea Party is a Koch Brothers creation and they have all the money in the United States you would think they'd make a lovely propoganda piece.
