Monday's premiere of Warner Bros.' "Our Brand Is Crisis" at the TCL Chinese was nothing if not timely, what with the campaign for the 2016 election season in full swing.
Sandra Bullock, who plays a hard-boiled campaign strategist deployed to Bolivia in the film, said she had no guidance for the Republican frontrunner: "Donald Trump doesn't need advice - he's doing fine just being Trump."
And Bullock has no desire to enter the field of advising candidates.
"I could never be a political consultant," she noted.
"I would never step into that world if you paid me.
I couldn't do it.
The stakes are too high and I'm too softhearted.
It's really hard.
I can do the little lies but I can't do the great big ones."
Billy Bob Thornton, who portrays Bullock's rival political consultant in the movie, opined that Hillary Clinton had delivered an impressive performance at the recent Congressional hearings and offered some advice for Trump.
"I think Trump should sometimes take a beat before he answers a question."
