I did not see most of this film. I missed the beginning, and I lasted about 30 minutes before I felt an overwhelming urge to to pluck my eyes out with forks and drive very sharp No.2 pencils into my ears. I knew when I chose this movie from the guide that I was probably not going to last, but I held out hope that there was going to be some sort of objectivity in the presentation. (There may have been some, and I just didn't make it that far.) However, the portion of the movie that I could tolerate was simply a camera crew following a group of Uber-Liberal Hollywood actors who were apparently pimping Obama prior to and at the DNC in Denver in '08.
Poliwood is the name of the film.
To be fair I must give credit to one of the actresses. Anne Hathaway, during the time I watched, was the only one who seemed to NOT have a preset opinion that she had an overwhelming need to voice. She appeared to be objective and very thoughtful about. her political statements overall. I will simply assume by her presence among the Uber-libs that she does have a decidedly Liberal bent in her politics, but I will give utmost respect with regard to her voice, lack thereof, and her composure.
The rest that chose to speak, frequently and loudly and very visibly, were idealistic, self-absorbed, obnoxious, and condescending. Everything that one associates with Hollywood personalities.
So. If you have two hours to kill and a penchant for self-abuse, check this out and see how long YOU last.
