Synopsis: Two powerful CEOs pit a blundering congressman against an unlikely political newcomer in order to seize control of a crucial North Carolina district in this satirical political comedy starring Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis. On the eve of an upcoming election, incumbent congressman Cam Brady (Ferrell) makes a misstep that threatens to end his career in politics. Recognizing the opportunity to gain influence in the aftermath of the public gaffe, a pair of scheming CEOs handpick credulous tourism center director Marty Huggins (Galifianakis) as Brady's political rival, quickly shaping him into a viable candidate with the help of a seasoned campaign manager. Meanwhile, as Election Day draws near, Brady and Huggins cast ethics aside to engage in the brand of hysterical mud-slinging that's sent contemporary politics straight down the toilet. Jason Sudeikis, John Lithgow, and Brian Cox co-star.

    Way Over-The-Top Childish Humor. I love Will Ferrell but this is one of the worst movies I have seen all year. I hope "Anchorman II" won't be as awful as "The Campaign".

    Campaign is a very funny movie. It only falls short when it attempts to be serious and philosophical. Some of the support cast really shine. Good--didn't make one party bad. Bad--pretty tiresome always making businessmen the bad guys.
