Our Brand is Crisis Movie Synopsis & Plot

A Bolivian presidential candidate failing badly in the polls enlists the firepower of an elite American management team, led by the deeply damaged but still brilliant strategist “Calamity” Jane Bodine (Bullock). In self-imposed retirement following a scandal that earned her nickname and rocked her to her core, Jane is coaxed back into the game for the chance to beat her professional nemesis, the loathsome Pat Candy (Thornton), now coaching the opposition. But as Candy zeroes in on every vulnerability – both on and off the campaign trail – Jane is plunged into a personal crisis as intense as the one her team exploits nationally to boost their numbers. Dramatic, rapid-fire and laced with satire, “Our Brand is Crisis” reveals the cynical machinations and private battles of world-class political consultants for whom nothing is sacred and winning is all that matters.

MOVIE REVIEW

Almost really good, except not, Our Brand is Crisis is a well-acted drama-comedy-political satire-something that doesn't know what it is or what it wants to be, which unfortunately means you'll be confused--not by the story--but by whether the movie was worth your time at all. I'm still trying to figure it out myself, though this much is clear: Our Brand is Crisis is one of those movies that I'll have forgotten about completely in approximately two months.
