Too Much of Aunuld, Too Much of the Director
24 March 2005
Warning: Spoilers
As a republican, I was curious to watch a documentary of republicans in Hollywood. I was even more curious when the director disclosed in the first few minutes that he himself was a democrat, and I think this was the honest and correct thing to do. And even though he is covering a party and people he disagrees with, the show overall is fair and balanced.

As for the quality, I thought the documentary was pretty good, but a very, very large portion of it concentrates on Aunuld's run for governor. We all know how that ends up and there have been other shows and even movies on that, so I think he should have done more interviews and concentrated less on "See Arnold Run" (for example Dennis Miller appears only in archive footage and would have been a good interviewee).

The other thing I didn't like is that the director inserted too much of himself into the show - especially at the end. I really don't care what he decided to do after he was done with the documentary - I wanted to hear about politics in Hollywood. So a good portion of this film is really an ego piece ("Hey, look at me! I interviewing republicans! Now I'm working for democrats!").

I'd give it between 4 and 5 stars.
