    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The real Steve Schmidt, who is played in this movie by Woody Harrelson, called the film's portrayal of him, and the events surrounding Sarah Palin's GOP nomination as the party's Vice Presidential candidate and candidacy, accurate.
    • Goofs
      In a scene where Ed Harris' character, John McCain, is woken up in the middle of the night, it is clear that his arms are stretched out above his head. This is not possible, as due to the years of physical abuse/torture John McCain suffered as a POW, he is unable to raise both of his arms above his head.
    • Quotes

      Woman: I can't trust Obama. I've read about him and he's not a... he's a... he's a Arab. He's not an Americ...

      John McCain: No, ma'am. No, ma'am. He's a decent family man citizen who I just happen to have some disagreements with on certain fundamental issues. And that's what this campaign is all about.

    Brilliant - my only complaint - it isn't in theatres
    Amazingly good solid film. Julianne Moore is brilliant as Sarah Palin, and the rest of the cast - equally wonderful! The script is solid too, and keeps your interest, even if you remember every nuance of the Presidential race and the story we lived through. I don't want to say too much about the actual production, because it is so well done, mixing reportage with the actors. Mixing journalists with the actors.

    It really is great. Congratulations to everyone at HBO and I really really really hope the film will be released in theatres around the country. It deserves the widest possible audience as possible.

    I don't think it matters if you are Republican or Democrat, who you voted for or didn't vote either. The film is good, fair, interesting and well done.
