Two rival teams of political hacks (one led by Sandra Bullock; the other by Billy Bob Thornton) from the U.S. are higher to manage competing teams during a presidential campaign in Bolivia.
Ostensibly a comedy, it didn't appear to be willing to go as dark as it wanted to be, mostly with respect to Bullock's character "Calamity" Jane Bodine (there's no attempt to make Thornton's character positive and he probably had a lot more fun with his part than she did with hers).
This was one of those films that the rest of the audience liked a lot more than I did. Political satire has been done a lot better in other films or on television. Wait for it to show up on free TV or a streaming service you've already paid for.
