I must be confused, as this does not seem like comedy to me. I must be missing something. :shrug:
http://www.ourbrandiscrisis.net/"“Hilarious! Would be even funnier if the well-paid American strategists weren’t helping to decide the political fate of an impoverished Third World nation. Boynton’s film ultimately reveals as many disturbing facts about our own backroom political process as it does about Bolivia’s.”

Time Out New York "
"“James Carville goes into his Bill Clinton-meets-Looney Tunes act in Rachel Boynton’s knockout documentary. Darkly amusing. Boynton has extraordinary access – bewildering access, given the damning nature of what she gets.“
– David Edelstein,
New York Magazine"
"“Momentous! Will pack a punch with even the most informed viewer. The unrestricted access we are given to these discussions that would normally take place behind closed doors is astounding!”
– Laura Kern,
The New York Times"
And this one makes it sound like Carville is proud to be a part of it, and like the media critic thinks so, too. As I said, I must be missing something.
"Riveting. Remarkably suspenseful! James Carville is, of course, already a media star. Midway through the movie, he delivers an extended and shrewdly self-deprecating advertisement for himself. Among other things, he compares a campaign to sex: ‘You never know when it’s going to peak.’”
