I just finished watching the movie, and as someone who has always harshly criticized Sarah Palin I felt the the movie portrayed her as a real human being. She should have never been put in that position. But the movie also portrayed her as resilient and hard-working. Which she has proven to be. Doesn't change my fundamental opinion that she represents the dumbing-down of political discourse in the worst possible way. Ed Harris' portrayal of John McCain was respectful and a pleasure to watch.
As a screenwriter myself I think it's important to remember that when a move says "based on a true story," that doesn't mean that everything in the movie is the absolute truth. Film makers routinely take dramatic license to give the story a little pop and color. However if the disclaimer says that the "story is true" then they are obligated by law to make sure that everything can be backed up by facts and they are not allowed to take dramatic license with the story. Movie watchers should understand the difference between the two disclaimers.
Now that, sadly, Sen. John McCain is gone from our midst I see Ed Harris as _really_ capturing the essence of the man and the resemblance is more startling now than in 2012 when Game Change premiered.
All throughout the 2008 campaign when people tried to describe what Palin meant when she was babbling, they would always say "...you can't make crazy stuff like this up..." Well, they made a movie about poor little Sarah and guess what? They didn't have to make a single word up. They just repeated all the crazy stuff she said. End of story.
haha yeah of course Sarah Palin is gonna say anything bad is fake. But when you have video evidence of so many instances like her saying she can't name ANY newspaper she reads you cant say the movie has no merit to portray as unprepared
A lot of what we see in the movie we saw in real life. Steve what's his name and the other staff members say it is accurate. It shows how easily sarah lies and we heard the lies in real life. My eyes and ears don't lie ... sarah certainly does.
2016 and again, still Palin...."Team Obama" has nothing to do with Track assaulting his girlfriend or the fact your malicious and not very bright. Go home, be a soccer mommy for real this time. Leave American politics alone.
I actually believe the part Sarah did not know who Americas enemies were. Cuz the Average American at the time did not know. I was a young man then, serving in the Navy. Bush and Cheney dragged us into wars with very unclear messaging and no goals. It screwed with public perception and most people could not keep track of what was actually happening or why. Made me vote Democrat ever since 2004.
Are you kidding me? Kamala Harris was Attorney General and Senator for a state of 39 million people. Palin represented 773,000 people. Thats a quarter of my city ALONE. Sarah Palin knew NOTHING.
Julianne Moore looks just like sarah palin it's uncanny lol I have trouble not believing the movie especially if any of you have watched the house of cards series it opens yours eyes a little bit to what's possibly going on not that hoc is facts....
I think for the most part the GOP has purged themselves of Sarah Palin. Sometimes you have to make yourself throw up, and then afterwards you feel a lot better. One thing Donald Trump Sr will not tolerate is; someone with a bigger ego than him. That's why she got the boot. One day someone will give Trump the boot.
"More dumber" is incorrect English. It's either "more dumb" or simply "dumber". Perhaps you should check yourself before you make claims about other people.
You know goddamn well McCain and Palin both watched that movie.
Sarah Palin will be the only losing VP candidate who will be remembered for all time.
Except for FDR. :)
JD Vance. If he's truly unlucky

what a disaster she would have been for USA
“I’m not going to watch it”. Oh please, you watched it. 😂

I saw this last night... and I think it was fair and balanced...
It's noteworthy that Palin ran for VP, lost, and still made an interesting subject for a movie. How many people could have done that?
Of course the movie is "based on a false narrative"--it depicts her as being a human being.
Mildly?!? Try emphatically unprepared!! 🤣🤣

There is a song by Kat McSnatch, which must have been written with Palin in mind.

Exactly. Just watch all the clips here on YT of Palin being her stupid self. The movie is accurate regarding her being an idiot.Nuff said.
I didn’t think there was anyone else beside Tina Fey who could pull off Sarah Palin, and then in comes Julianne Moore. Wow!!!
A lot of what we see in the movie we saw in real life. Steve what's his name and the other staff members say it is accurate. It shows how easily sarah lies and we heard the lies in real life.
My eyes and ears don't lie ... sarah certainly does.

Of course Palin would give the movie a "thumbs down". The movie was spot-on! Palin has no business in politics.
yep

I watch game change on tv and it is good from beginning and end
damn right ... we know for a fact, though, that she did not read the book because it had, you know, words and things
She did watch it and blamed the film on everyone else because that's her style.
Indisputable.
I’m watching this movie right now, it’s interesting haha
If Sarah wasn’t prepared, which category do you put the current VP, “Kamala “????
Are you kidding me? Kamala Harris was Attorney General and Senator for a state of 39 million people. Palin represented 773,000 people. Thats a quarter of my city ALONE. Sarah Palin knew NOTHING.
You know the movie's true because she didnt sue for libel.

the movie was way too kind to Senator McCain.
But with Kelly it was an act ...
charismatic?
A mean, mean movie.
moore was bad in the movie.
