Sarah Palin Movie Debuts to Empty Theater in Orange County

When the clock struck 12:01 am on Friday, AMC theaters in select cities were permitted to start showing "The Undefeated," a feature length documentary about Sarah Palin.

It may not be "Harry Potter," but another film featuring a bespectacled protagonist is racking up strong pre-sales before its national roll-out this weekend.

"The Undefeated," a glowing look at failed vice-presidential candidate and former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has already sold out a show in Grapevine, Texas (population 46,000), according to the distributor Cinedigm.

Meanwhile, in the city of Orange, California (population 138,640), 3 people turned up, one was a journalist and the other two, Jamie Watkins, 22, is a Missouri native, which qualifies her as a real American. She only recently moved to Southern California, and her little sister, Jessie, age 18, was visiting for the first time.

"We're going to Disneyland tomorrow," Jamie said, "but she just got here, so we decided we should go out."

"We looked online for the latest movie playing," Jessie added. "But all the Harry Potters were sold out, and then we saw 'The Undeafeated.' We don't even actually know what we're seeing."

They stayed for 20 minutes.

I'd give this one a miss.
