I didn't have high expectations going into this movie. After all, Will Ferrell comedies are very hit or miss. The most recent movies he's been in have not been good. The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard, Land of the Lost, Step Brothers, and Blades of Glory are all movies I wish to forget, they only had a couple good one-liners in the whole movie. You have to go all the way back to 2006 with Talladega Nights and 2003 with Old School to get a good movie with Will Ferrell. The good thing is, The Campaign falls into the good category. There is non-stop funny (actual funny) moments and lots of good one-liners. Much of what you see in the previews on TV isn't even exactly what is used in the movie, so you aren't bored with a movie full of things you've already seen. The Campaign does incorporate a lot of cussing, sexual innuendos, and some brief nudity, so if that is your type of comedy, this movie is right up your alley. This movie was funny from beginning to end and well worth the watch. Zach Galifianakis and Will Ferrell both do good justice for this comedy film.
