The Campaign

[green-lantern]

Anybody else seen it? I give it a 9 out of 10.

When long-term congressman Cam Brady (Will Ferrell) commits a major public gaffe before an upcoming election, a pair of ultra-wealthy CEOs plot to put up a rival candidate and gain influence over their North Carolina district. Their man: naïve Marty Huggins (Zach Galifianakis), director of the local Tourism Center.

Not the funniest movie I’ve ever seen but it’s up there close to it. I really think it's Will Ferrell’s best movie. He and Zach Galifianakis are just great in this flick. With all the BS of this election it makes this movie even better. I wasn’t even in a good mood when I saw it and I still laughed a lot!

I strongly recommend watching it ASAP.

im glad you wrote this. its in the dollar movies here, and i was wondering if it was worth the time

I thought it was pretty funny. I was kind of doubtful about renting it when I did, but I was surprised when I watched it.

We rented the BRD last night, gonna watch today w/wife.

Let me know what you guys think.

Watched about 45 minutes before taking it back to the movie store and trading it for something else. Some funny parts but we just didn't feel like watching the rest.

ferrell is mostly miss for me. he has about 2 funny sentences total in every movie he does. anchorman was funnier because of steve carell than will farrell. funniest line in "the other guys" wasn't even uttered by farrell. having seen about half a dozen of his movies (night at the roxbury, anchorman, talladega nights, the other guys, land of the lost, megamind) plus countless others he's in (producers, austin powers, shows like "eastbound and down") i feel it's a fair assessment that the man is funnier in a backup or relief role, rather than a starring one. megamind was probably slightly funnier than the rest--and that could well be because his face was never in the movie.

i'd rather watch whitest kids you know. if the candidate is palying out here in dirka-dirkastan...then i'll probably go watch it though. i don't have high hopes.

good movie but was kinda disappointed

This is my thought, as well. I saw it on opening day at the theater. Other than the dinner table scene, I wasn't all that impressed. Nowhere near as funny as previous Ferrell movies. Still good, but I was expecting more.

I guess since I didn’t expect much it took me by surprise. I thought it was great. The media and the political tactics they were using on each other reminds me so much of the actual media and politicians. I think that’s what I got the biggest kick out of. I didn't think the dinner table part was that funny. Not the best part anyway.
