Troy Putland With two well proportioned comedian/actors, there should be plenty of laugh out loud jokes in The Campaign. Ferrell and Galifianakis are running for congress of a small town in North Carolina. Ferrell is outrageous and nonsensical whilst Galifianakis is a bit of a dork. They never quite gel in their battle of wits. Scenes that separate them are stronger than those united. The story doesn't progress past each candidate attempts to outdo the other, until the inevitable conclusion of a winner. At least The Campaign is a lighthearted film, even if the comedy's below average. Ferrell and Galifianakis have the potential to do so much better.

Ole Sandbaek Joergensen I don't know if any of the main actors have helped with the dialogs or the characters, but they fit very well into their parts and the dialogs and everything.Well if you take a real life story (maybe) and turn it into a comedy with Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis everything can go wrong (in a good way), it does not in this case, but the do make a lot of fun on the expense of politicians and politics. This is funny for most parts, it is raunchy, a bit foolish and sometimes over the top, but most political campaigns are, it seems like this is a comedy that are making fun of something that in the first place is funny and maybe a bit stupid.They make it work, capture the moments and the points and is entertaining most of the way.

weezy-d-1225 The laughs just keep rolling like thrilling twist and turns on a roller coaster. From early on to mid beginning the jokes are slow coming and have lulling dips. However towards the end of the feature the laughs come faster and harder all the way to the credits.The subject content is tackled and delivered in the best comedic manor possible. Many real life political issues are addressed.Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis never cease to amaze me with their range of characters.The dialog between characters is excellently scriptedThe supporting characters really shined too.

Sean Lamberger Another tick in the long line of silly, themed Will Ferrell vehicles, this doesn't quite reach the heights of Anchorman, Talladega Nights or Old School, but fits comfortably on the second tier alongside Step Brothers and Blades of Glory. It's a steady rotation of softballs for Ferrell and co-star Zach Galifianakis, who tackle a political atmosphere ripe for satire with all the nuance of a six-foot dildo draped in the American flag. For what it's worth, most of the gags seem more heavily scripted than I'd expect from these two, so the few scenes that do allow some room for improvisation are, as expected, the best in the film. The comedians' giant personalities mesh nicely as the picture rolls on, but their relationship doesn't revolve around the kind of relentless give-and-take typified by the similar dual leads in Step Brothers. Ferrell's all-in as the scumbag lifetime politician, sleazy in ways that haven't even been defined in the English language, but Galifianakis is actually worth rooting for as his soft-spoken upstart challenger. Of course, it wouldn't have legs if he didn't get his hands dirty at some point, and his gentle nature makes it all the more rewarding when he finally gives in to his baser instincts and fires back in kind. Funny and thin, but you probably already knew that.
