  • Summary: Nick Broomfield's quest for the real Sarah Palin. A journey across the icy snows of Alaska in mid winter, to meet the school friends, family, and Republican colleagues that in previous days gave their heart, and souls to the charismatic, charming, intoxicating ex hockey mum. But it's not all plain sailing. People are frightened to talk, Wasilla makes Twin Peaks look like a walk in the park. It's a devout evangelical community - 76 churches with a population of only 6 thousand, and the Crystal meth capitol of Alaska. Who are the flying monkeys, the enemies, the friends, and most importantly - are you with her or against her? Join the quest and for Christ's sake buy some thermals! (Freestyle Releasing)

    Never one to take a back seat in his movies, Broomfield projects a shambling, Columbo-style bonhomie that gains him access to people who should be very afraid of letting him cross their threshold.

    Sarah Palin -You Betcha! is probably the scariest movie you will see all year.

    In case you think Sarah Palin-You Betcha! is a hit job on an easy subject, see the movie and learn something. It's terrifying, but in all fairness, no disgrace, no rumor of extramarital affairs in office, no broadside is explored unless it can be substantiated.

    The barbs feel stale at best, squandered at worst, and the ominous music that accompanies each sounds as if it has been lifted from the silent movie era.

  1. Another Sarah Palin documentary? Give me a break. I hate Sarah Palin. Her floppy show, her sister's stint on "Dancing with the Stars," and her popularity. Her glasses looked like Steve Urkel from Family Matters. I promised you, if she wins in 2012, I'm gonna vomit in less than 60 mins. This is one of the worst documentary since Apollo 18. Expand
  2. Sarah Palin is a waste of space. Anything giving her any more screen time than she already has is not worth my time. save yourself the trouble of watching this pile of well u get the idea Expand
