The Campaign


Movie: The Campaign
Genre: comedy
Synopsis: Cam Brady (Will Ferrell) is a really sleezy multi-term Democratic Congressman from North Carolina who is running unopposed for re-election. The Motch (spelled K-O-C-H) brothers (John Lithgow and Dan Aykroyd) are gazzilionaires who decide to fund a Republican to run against Brady.  They decide on Marty Huggins (Zach Galifianakis).  Marty is initially like a sheep being led to slaughter, but he quickly shows his mettle in the dirty campaign that ensues.

My two cents: I loved this movie.  Will Ferrell was perfect, as was Zach Galifianakis.  As a matter of fact, everyone in the movie gave pretty solid performances.  I have been a fan of Zach’s since the first Hangover.  It amazes me how, in every single movie I have seen him in, he manages to steal every scene – regardless of how legendary his co-stars are.  This movie gets a big off-color at times – but it will keep you laughing.
