The Campaign (2012) - 3 stars out of 5 stars

Never have I been a big fan of Will Ferrell or Zach Galifianakis but they don't derail this rather surprising 2012 release that runs short at only 85 minutes.After seeing the film which is reviewed on this blog,Welcome to Mooseport (2004),I decided to see this film and they have little in common.Still as in the other films case it has its moments.As stupid as it sounds to p[unch both a baby and a cute dog,Ferrell pulls it of.Be warned,again very adult humor,no kids what so ever !!! Thus 2 stars off .Good political satire is rare indeed so we take what moments we can,when we can.This film also offers many familiar faces besides the two principals and they all play together well,ha,ha.Trailer URL follows the picture and a IMDB summary below.

When Cam Brady (D-NC), a four-term Congressman, becomes a liability, the Motch brothers (think Koch brothers) recruit Marty Huggins, the son of a Republican heavy hitter, to run against him and be their vehicle to establish factories in the district that will import cheap Chinese labor. Trouble is, Marty is a lightweight, so his makeover falls to consultant Tim Wattley. The race tightens as Cam constantly shoots himself in the foot, while the prospect of winning also changes Marty and his family's dynamics. Meanwhile, Cam plays dirty, and Marty cottons on to the Moches' grand plan. What options do the rich have to get their way? Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>
