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 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.

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.
