Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

ThiefHott Too much of everything

Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

gbkmmaurstad Arizona Senator John McCain (Ed Harris), selects Alaska Governor Sarah Palin (Julianne Moore), as his 2008 Republican Presidential running mate against Democratic candidate, Barack Obama. Crowds love Palin, she meets the party's objectives by appealing to the base, gaining the independents, closing the gender gap and distancing themselves from the Bushs', (Sr., Jr., Jeb).What they hadn't realized is that Palin was not well versed in domestic or foreign politics. She became overly concerned about alienating her Alaskan base, fretted over Tiny Fey's unflattering impersonation of her on Saturday Night Live and became increasingly homesick.In her downward spiral she refuses to be tutored on policy by strategist Steve Schmidt (Woody Harrelson), spends large amounts of time in her room and is beginning to show signs of a nervous breakdown. Excellent portrayal of what happened.

Jim O'Malley (Kopelson-Group) I have a mind of my own, at least I want to think so, but, I was influenced enough to give Game Change a miss. I was told this was a hatchet job - I must admit that the comments came from Republicans mostly - I finally saw Game Change last night, It literally blew my mind. Hatchet job? What are you talking about? I felt for her, the film humanizes her and somehow explains without partisan hysteria, how we got there, that in a way is to explain how we got here in 2017. Julianne Moore is superb, superb! Not a single false note or cheap shot. I also felt for John McCain, the American hero who told us that Sarah Palin was ready to to be President. The torment in John McCain through Ed Harris's eyes is more eloquent that any line of dialogue. As is Nicolle Wallace, played brilliantly by Sarah Paulson. Her torment is also so real you can touch it. A special mention should go to Woody Harrelson, es Steve Schmidt, extraordinary. Writers, directors and everybody involved deserve oodles of praise. They told us a piece of recent American history about a woman who thought her Vice Presidency was "God's plan"

Rafi Jaan First, I know it's not just TV and it's HBO but come on, is all of that profanity really necessary?! I'm not calling for censorship, just that there was no need for all the f-bombs to be dropped. I'm all for artistic choices that film makers make to tell their stories -- no matter how much profanity, violence or sexual content they need to use -- but there CAN be such a thing as using something that serves no purpose, and the story could have done without (in this case, the excessive cursing).Now that that's out of the way, I have to admit that this is an entertaining and very well-acted movie. The cast do a very good job in every scene and even for those of us familiar with the story, there are enjoyable moments, well-written scenes and even a few surprises. So despite the foul language, I highly recommend this movie. 7 out of 10.

jjnxn-1 Julianne Moore scores a personal triumph in this making a woman who is basically an unqualified not terribly bright egoist at least seem human and somewhat used. Quite a feat. Amazingly up until this she had been slighted as far as major award recognition of her talent went, happily this superior work has corrected that. The rest of the production is high caliber with exemplary work from Ed Harris, Sarah Paulson and particularly Woody Harrelson. The rest of the supporting cast, Peter MacNicol, Larry Sullivan et. al, is just as strong. The mingling of actual footage from the campaign and the actors is done seamlessly and adds to the immediacy of the film. It's disquieting though to realize how close an uninformed puppet came to a seat of supreme power.
