Greedy, Wacky Politics

Ferrell sticks to his usual flawed and loud sketch character routine, while Galifianakis tries to create a more uniquely quirky one. There are a decent amount of good laughs here, but it doesn't feel quite up to par with the duo's previous work. I felt the film could've taken a more satirical bite out of politics instead of focusing more on ridiculous antics. However, there is still some slight commentary about greedy politicians and a final message that most of us could agree with.
