The Campaign

If you are in the mood for an extremely funny movie that is not cheesy like Scary Movie 1-99 or any of the other stupid parody movies you must see The Campaign. 


The movie stars Will Farrell (Talladega Nights, Anchorman, Step Brothers) and fellow North Carolinian Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover, Bored to Death) running for office in the US Congress as to represent the 14th district of North Carolina. Farrell character, Cam Brady, is the current office holder who has never had an opponent when running.  Galifianakis plays Marty Huggins who is a very quirky character, but extremely funny while still being polite about everything he does. However, Brady's character does not have a filter between his brain and mouth.

Brady's policy for politics is win at all costs until his son tells him he plans to run for his middle school SGA President.  This leads Brady to having a change in heart and eventually doing the right thing.  As for Marty Huggins, he just wants to do the right thing for his state, not the best for himself. No one (not even his own father who was the campaign advisor for former US Senator Jesse Helms) believes has a chance to defeat Brady because he has no resumé.

This movie is great for anyone looking for a laugh but beware of for some foul language. Not much but enough to not make this kid friendly.
