Surprisingly Funny Comedy


I was surprised how genuinely funny this movie is, there were many laugh out loud moments. It's scary to think how far they propelled this woman toward the second in command post, and we're all very lucky we can now look back and now laugh. I think a lot of the enjoyment of the film comes from the feeling of relief. Julianne Moore as the comic buffoon and Woody Harrelson as the straight man became kind of a comic duo a la Abbot And Costello or Laurel And Hardy.

"Yes, because you're just like Hillary."

Its not funny. The woman is having catatonic stupors, wild mood swings, odd fixations and no one does anything! They have a doctor follow her around for one afternoon at a BBQ and then do nothing when he says "not half bad". Like that's any kind of great recommendation for a potential president!

Just think of the comic gold of the Palin family brawling on the White House lawn while her fans scream ribald encouragement

Ribald?

Mental illness could run in the family. It is genetic. She suffered bad catatonic stupors.

I wondered if the comedy was intentional or unplanned.



No two persons ever watch the same movie.

I liked it

Also surprised I felt sorry for McCain. I am liberal democrat. But by end of movie I wanted to hug him. I was happy Obama re-election--but McCain is still a person with feelings.
