Jay Roach's 'The Campaign' is A Decent Comedy, that offers genuine laughs in the goings-on. And, Ferrell & Galifianakis deliver Superbly!

'The Campaign' Synopsis: In order to gain influence over their North Carolina district, two CEOs seize an opportunity to oust long-term congressman Cam Brady by putting up a rival candidate. Their man: naive Marty Huggins, director of the local Tourism Center.

'The Campaign' is undeniably funny, I laughed & enjoyed myself. The film serves its purpose. Chris Henchy & Shawn Harwell's Screenplay is funny & crisp. Jay Raoch's Direction is satisfactory. Cinematography & Editing are alright.

Ferrell & Galifianakis are up for vie top honors. The Comedic Veterans are hilarious in their respective parts & go head to head from start to end. Among the supporting cast, Jason Sudeikis is first-rate. Brian Cox, John Lithgow & Dan Aykroyd are excellent.

On the whole, 'The Campaign' works.

Incumbent congressman Cam Brady (Will Ferrell) runs afoul of the billionaire Motch brothers (John Lithgow, Dan Aykroyd). They decide to recruit Marty Huggins (Zach Galifianakis) to run against him.

Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis team up for a satire of a political campaign. This is all about the two comedians. At times, they have their funny moments. However, I must admit that I am growing tired of Will Ferrell's antics. I think it's time for him to do more serious work. Maybe it's time for him to do an evil character. His man-child persona is getting stale. Zach Galifianakis is not as over exposed or as long running. His man-child performance is still fresh and that's basically what we have here. They both act childish. Zach is more idiotic. There's no real insight into the political system. So enjoy the few jokes and I hope you didn't pay too much for them.

"The Campaign" is not a film to show your kids, your mother or Father O'Malley if he stops by for the evening. Why? Because the film is incredibly crude and despite no nudity and only a little bit of violence (such as when a baby and Uggie the dog are punched in the face), it earns its R rating because it is so crude. All that being said, it is still a very enjoyable film...and worth seeing. Just don't tell others, because they might think less of you.

The film is about a fictional congressional election between a dumb, sleazy womanizing incumbent (Will Ferrell) and a dumb, not as sleazy and very effeminate newbie (Zach Galifianakis). As the campaign progresses, the rhetoric between the pair becomes more and more sleazy and awful...to the point where it's simply ludicrous late in the story. Who will win and what about those rich jerks pulling the strings in this election?

As I mentioned above, the film is very crude and adult....watch it at your own risk. But it also is funny and offers some interesting insights into American politics.
