Literally every single thing is "counter productive" (or at least useless) for some purpose or another.
It makes no sense to complain about a thing being "counter productive" (or useless) in doing something (such as "winning an election") that it is not even trying to do. (That's like complaining that hammers are "counter productive" for driving screws. Well ... yeah ... but ... so what?)
I agree. Let me know if you ever find such a movie, and I'll join you in criticizing it for not helping that (and just generally for being stupid as hell, to boot).
