Kyle Smith reviews Palin's upcoming flick:
[I]ts tone is an excruciating combination of bombast and whining, it’s so outlandishly partisan that it makes Richard Nixon look like Abraham Lincoln and its febrile rush of images — not excluding earthquakes, car wrecks, volcanic eruption and attacking Rottweilers — reminded me of the brainwash movie Alex is forced to sit through in “A Clockwork Orange.” Except no one came along to refresh my pupils with eyedrops.
Even Ed Morrissey admits that it's a "terribly flawed film, especially in its sound editing" and that "only those who already passionately support Palin are likely to stick around for the whole movie." Matt Latimer, meanwhile, says it's effective and directed squarely at women:
"The Undefeated" was tested before focus groups of liberals who, according to the filmmaker, almost uniformly came away with a greater appreciation of Palin. This was especially true of women. Two different people told me that a liberal producer at a major television network (it was not Fox News) left the movie in tears after "realizing" how badly Palin had been treated by the media. Like all cold-hearted men, I confess that I was not in tears. But it is clear from the outset that I am not the film’s target audience. The movie really is geared to women. There are repeated references to Palin's gender, how she’s been discriminated against because of her dress and looks, and there is even an image of a campaign button that reads "You Go, Girl." But I won’t be able to ascertain the film’s true impact until I see Joy Behar weeping on air about how terribly she’s wronged the governor. And somehow I just don’t see that coming…
For some inexplicable reason, I was not invited to the screening.
