MEET MITT !

Heeeee's back!  and just wait until you see what all you people missed just over a year ago! 

Kyle loves - LOVES campaign movies. A shocker I know. THE WAR ROOM is pretty much Citizen Kane to me. So I was first in line on our sofa tonight at NETFLIX debuted film maker Greg Whiteley's ALL ACCESS no holds barred SIX year adventure into good teeth and lots and lots of hugs, otherwise known as Romney I and II.

As much home movies about a roaming band of adorable Ewoks as a political movie, it lets you inside to see the Romeny's be self deprecating, goofy, lovable - tired, happy, sad and very well dressed. They are as much like you and me as ..... well the Romneys are like you and me. Starting with the collapse post Florida ( which was not his fault!! ) in the 2008 campaign to that dirty dirty ( and also rich , rich ) John McCain and going all the way to election night 2012, you will NEVER in your life see a more deluded butch of folks. One of the boys, Donny or Jimmy, I really can not tell them apart and the camera is at all times just right in their faces, so they look even more alike - one of the boys lets us know that in 2012 it is MITTS TURN - fade to black.

Its the afternoon of the first disastrous debate for President Obama - and the Romney's, out of their jeans and comfy clothes from campaign '08 and into some much nicer togs are worried. That Obama is a sly one and might use some of that juju on them that got him in the White House the first go round - and then BAM! WHIFF! Ka-POW - our man Mitt lands all sorts of body blows in that first debate the Mormons break out in song... You get the picture.

If, and it is sort of a big if for me, this movie is to be believed,  then no one in the Romney camp watched any tv or really read any paper , other than the Murdoch owned Wall Street Journal - UNTILL like 10 pm on election night. This really is not a political / campaign movie as much as a family sampler to pass down the the adorable omni present grand kids ( the light of Mitt's life ). At no time do you see the inner workings of GOP politics - which , again- if this is really how this happened - totally explains the real pain and shock that these folks felt in the Boston hotel room last November. They all , to the man ( well , maybe not that one that looked around while everyone else was on their knees praying ) - believed that it was 100% God's will that their Dad / Father in Law / Grandad  be President.

I am not really sure of the point of this film, if there even is one. Yes, they appear to be lovely people. Mitt is not Al Gore , made of only recycled plastic. He is a sit com dad who does goofy things like iron his shirt while wearing it, and seems to be obsessed with the constant mess that his Utah Hoards leave behind. Mrs. Romney is a beautiful, smart loving devoted wife, who - does not really seem to be all that much into this - and only goes along - well, who can argue with God. But everything this film maker tries to get us to believe, is just lost when Mitt starts to talk off the cuff. There was no magic from the Democrats, Candy Crowly did not loose this for you - or even those darn urban Ohioans. You lost because you are an out of touch super rich guy, still gaging on the silver spoon you were born with .

One story about some guy that makes guitar amps - a  small company, and Mitt tells us that this poor guy who owns this company just can not get by, because his combined tax burden is something like - 85%, and the Democrats just have NO IDEA how hard things are in America for these people. Sitting on his millions and paying 12% this comes across as harsh and shallow as any slip up he made during the , either, campaign. And this is something that they chose to put out there - 

If you have Netflixs watch it - form your own opinion. Pretty easy to know from the get go that I would not be a convert 90 min later. A crack of a curtain on a window into this mans volcanic ambition- and be ready to wipe away the crocodile tears of the best and last great white hope.
