Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Fresh and Exciting

Captivating movie !

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The campaign is a comedy with typical and predictable story arcs. Of course it has its bizarre moments that are anything but typical, but the ending, and the character development (of what little there is) travels the road most travelled. Ferrell and Galifanakis have good chemistry, but the content never amuses or incites genuine chuckles. Both actors seem they are in it for the paycheck rather than the content, and neither provide much to truly laugh at. The story falls flat, the comedy falls flat, there is little to enjoy and even less to remember. The campaign is another 21st century comedy dud among the many of similar nature.

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.

Making a comedy out of a political setting, the movie kind of raises both Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis's character images from the stupid crazy comedians in Anchorman, Step Brothers, and also the Hangover, to cleverer yet sleazier characters. Yet the movie falls to be quite predictable since the story soon falls into the characters exchanging blows at the campaign ad messages. The ending proves to be a joke for real politicians despite they don't crack any laugh from the audience. The acting overall is a little bit above the standards. Will Ferrell is really no stranger to comedies like this while Zach Galifianakis maintained his age old flat face expressions. Jason Sudeikis' presence here feels like a waste

The rated R comedy is the worst thing to blight the cinema. For every one that's legitimately funny, there are twenty million pieces of #$%@. Lowest-common-denominator teenage stoner flicks that think anything gross and raunchy is h-i-l-a-r-i-o-u-s!I wandered into watching The Campaign. When it was done, and I let the film settle in, I was furious at its freaking stupidity. You will struggle to find a greater manchild in film than Will Ferrell's Cam Brady. Rude, selfish, stubborn, impulsive - an idiot to the core. Throughout his campaign, he never appears to be an actual human being. I'd call him a stereotypical politician, but the satire is too dumb, the character too retarded. Zach Galifianakis' Marty Huggins is just as awful. He's funny because he's fat and awkward. LOL! The film kept piling the crap. Ferrell has sex in a porta-potty, he shows pictures of his penis, he punches a baby in the face (with embarrassing CGI). He gets bitten by a rattlesnake, goes crazy, and - you're gonna love this! - even has a boner! Ahahahahaha! There's barely any setup, context, or consequence. These "edgy" moments could have been replaced by anything, and still elicit chuckles from the inebriated crowd.And then the film tries to be culturally relevant by bringing up corruption in politics. That's the funniest joke of the movie. Seriously, you're gonna have kids talk about their sexual misdeeds, then criticize the Koch brothers? Shut the !@#$ up. You've accomplished absolutely nothing.I think being with a friend who loves the movie helped contain my anger. But wow, it was an unpleasant waste of time. I now understand the hate for Will Ferrell. A failure in satire and comedy, watch anything else. Its not worth one or two actual laughs.
