The Campaign

The Campaign   6.5 / 10

With the american presidential race happening at the moment many people may be looking for a classic political satire film. This movie starrs Will Ferell and Zach Galifianakis. It's a reasonable comedy, with some great laugh out loud moments. This film doesn't mean to be anything particularly sophisticated. Parts of it are quite entertaining. 

Ferrell plays the appalling Congressman Cam Brady campaigning to be re elected. He's a loathsome married womanizser whose becomes unpopular when he drunk calls a conservative christian family expecting it to be a girl of his who likes .. some saucy talk. (hilarious moment!) His rival, overweight, camp local tourism chief Marty Huggins (Galifianakis) pitches against him. The campaign gets very nasty "War has rules, mud wrestling has rules. Politics has no rules". If you're looking for a serious political observation then watch the News, this isn't the right film. Also if you will find a baby being comically hit offending, then avoid.
