Our Brand is Crisis hits a lot of clunky notes and the end is unforgivably cornball, but its still one of the liveliest political black comedies Ive seen in a while. Carvilles troops were dispatched to La Paz in 02 to consolidate the great victory of liberalism and democracy as they and their sponsors and benefactors understand those things and to resist the rising tide of Latin American leftism represented in Bolivia by the indigenous political leader Evo Morales, Gonis leading opponent.

Since The War Room, the omnipotent, omniscient celebrity political consultant has been portrayed again and again. Jane expresses to Ben that she still gets nauseous whenever she sees Castillo. That was almost certainly the final straw. ***SPOILER*** Castillo wins the election, and immediately breaks all his promises and turns out to be a tyrant. The emotional investment Green wants to make in Jane feels misplaced, especially since he also wants to celebrate moments when she behaves abhorrently. Played for laughs?
