Review: The Campaign
4 stars
In the movie “The Campaign,” producer Adam McKay and actor Will Ferrell re-unite to deliver another hilarious film. Unlike films such as “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby” and “Step Brothers,” Zach Galifianakis is Ferrell’s co-star. The film overall is another classic comedy, which brings a funny side to the stressful world of politics. Ferrell delivers a terrific performance as incumbent congressman Cam Brady, which resembles his George W. Bush portrayals in the show “Saturday Night Live.” Galifianakis also is great in his role, portraying his character as a more feminine male also running for Congress named Marty Huggins. The only disappointment of the film is the inconsistency of funny moments. As the film delves further into the story, the laughs begin to die down a bit. However, the film is definitely worth seeing. And if you have an interest in politics, this film will make you laugh hysterically.
