areatw 'The Campaign' is exactly what you expect it to be - a silly, predictable dumb comedy movie that you've already seen a million times before, only under a different title. Though this one does have a few positives to make it stand out from the crowd.Obviously, the film mocks modern politics but it isn't just the politicians who are ridiculed. The film perfectly captures the naivety of some American voters, from cheering whenever they hear any mention of God, to shouting out incoherent nonsense at rallies. Some of the humour is subtle but very funny if you pick up on it.Overall, 'The Campaign' is nothing special but it did make me laugh. As you would expect, Ferrell and Galifianakis are both very funny in their roles. A decent, enjoyable comedy movie.

pow1983 There isn't much to say about this film. The plot is predictable with little to do with its subject matter. Simply put 2 guys hate each other throughout but by the end work out their differences, similar to a lot of Adam Sandler films.Both the lead actors try very hard to be funny, Will Ferrel shouts a lot and Zach Galifianakis puts on an annoying voice, they fail to pull off any quality comedy. This is due in part to a very weak script but largely because they are just not that funny. I get the feeling the director just let them make the script as they were shooting rather than use anything concrete.Overall cheap comedy.

weezy-d-1225 The laughs just keep rolling like thrilling twist and turns on a roller coaster. From early on to mid beginning the jokes are slow coming and have lulling dips. However towards the end of the feature the laughs come faster and harder all the way to the credits.The subject content is tackled and delivered in the best comedic manor possible. Many real life political issues are addressed.Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis never cease to amaze me with their range of characters.The dialog between characters is excellently scriptedThe supporting characters really shined too.

Sean Lamberger Another tick in the long line of silly, themed Will Ferrell vehicles, this doesn't quite reach the heights of Anchorman, Talladega Nights or Old School, but fits comfortably on the second tier alongside Step Brothers and Blades of Glory. It's a steady rotation of softballs for Ferrell and co-star Zach Galifianakis, who tackle a political atmosphere ripe for satire with all the nuance of a six-foot dildo draped in the American flag. For what it's worth, most of the gags seem more heavily scripted than I'd expect from these two, so the few scenes that do allow some room for improvisation are, as expected, the best in the film. The comedians' giant personalities mesh nicely as the picture rolls on, but their relationship doesn't revolve around the kind of relentless give-and-take typified by the similar dual leads in Step Brothers. Ferrell's all-in as the scumbag lifetime politician, sleazy in ways that haven't even been defined in the English language, but Galifianakis is actually worth rooting for as his soft-spoken upstart challenger. Of course, it wouldn't have legs if he didn't get his hands dirty at some point, and his gentle nature makes it all the more rewarding when he finally gives in to his baser instincts and fires back in kind. Funny and thin, but you probably already knew that.
