Plots(1)
A failing Bolivian presidential candidate enlists the services of an American management team, led by "Calamity" Jane Bodine (Sandra Bullock), a deeply damaged but brilliant strategist who comes out of self-imposed retirement for a chance to beat her professional nemesis, the loathsome Pat Candy (Billy Bob Thornton). With Candy working for the opposition, the race becomes a down-and-dirty battle between political consultants, where nothing is sacred and winning is all that matters. (Roadshow Entertainment)

Sandra Bullock once again proves her acting prowess, showcasing it in a film that thoroughly revels in portraying how politics is nothing but a big comedy for people. We just don't want to realize it. The ending is kind of stupidly idealistic, but okay. But she'd probably get hit with a brick.

Sandra Bullock and Zoe Kazan have made this, at times mediocre, film into something that is fun to watch. I remember mostly Sandra’s bare butt plus nice views of Bolivia and La Paz.
