6.0
"Viewers looking for an educational adaptation of Bolivian political history will, without question, find a lot of problems. Those hoping for a zany dramedy may find that Green spends too much time trying to emphasise larger sociocultural messages instead of only delivering cutting satire."

"...fails to work as a convincing political satire as the pranks devised as a show of aggressive competitiveness appear childish and the performances lack dramatic heft."

"...is overstretched even at just 107 minutes, but it packs in enough of a cutting critique of electioneering chicanery. However, the salutary message that spin, rather than politics, is the villain, is unearned. The Hollywood-mandated happy ending is drenched in an idealism that isn't evident in the rest of the narrative."

"...this film is a true depiction of the real-time political marketing tricks used  in the United States elections. Although depicted in a chaotic manner, Sandra Bullock's bold acting coupled with episodes of sarcastic comedy makes it a real entertainer."
