Customer Reviews of Is It True What They Say About Ann?

(3.5 stars) Seems kind of poorly made, but that's forgiveable for Ann fans
This documentary about Ann Coulter is only forty minutes long, and there's still a lot of filler -- quotes that take twenty seconds to read, dead time such as when Ann's makeup is being done, camera switching...the bulk of the documentary itself may be only thirty-two or thirty-three minutes. It's almost like a TV special, not a full-length documentary. It's unashamedly pro-Ann Coulter, but that's alright, since this is marketed toward her fans. <

> There are some *excellent* pieces of footage of Ann: an obviously naive college liberal guy walks up to her with a poorly made shirt that says "TRAITOR" -- a jab at Ann's phase in 2003, calling liberals traitors all the time to irk them -- and Ann signs "have fun in Guantanamo." That's savage wit! There are also plenty of jokes to spare in the documentary, such as when Coulter says "Dean, Kerry, and Edwards have emerged from the Iowa caucus in a three-way race, to which Bill Clinton said 'Oh, I remember my first three-way in Iowa!'" The documentary is chock-full of that sort of 'thing,' and ends with a montage of clips of Bill Maher, Susan Estrich, and Pat Caddell talking about Ann. <

> The real highlight of this DVD, though, is all of the footage of Ann. There's got to be over 2 hours of extras of Ann talking about everything from Phyllis Schlafly to Iraq to the New York Times. <

> This is a must-own for any Ann Coulter fan, or anyone else interested in hearing what she has to say.

Too short to provide much information.
The movie manages reasonably well to be objective, although it occasionally leans towards being pro-Coulter, but it's not as black-or-white as Coulter's prose. The problem with the movie is that it's only 37 minutes long and still padded with footage of Ann talking to her mom on the phone and things like that, and it doesn't provide much actual information. It does provide proof of one thing we could already guess about Ann Coulter: She loves to be provocative. She says she loves to get hate mail. It seems like she exaggerates her hatred for liberals in order to be provocative because she's addicted to arguing and debating. And not debating with the intent of reaching any conclusions but debating just for the sake of debating. <

>So, the film was only mildly interesting, but not worth the price of the DVD. Ann Coulter fans may like the extra material consisting of footage of some of Ann's speeches. This footage runs for about three times as long as the film itself.
