The Campaign review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 11/16/12
Congressman Cam Brady (Will Ferrell) runs against Marty Huggins (Zach Galifianakis). The humor was good except for some unbelievable scenes such as punching the baby/dog, putting (or even creating) the sex tape and probably more once viewed. These instances really removes the realism of comedies, no matter how funny it may seem. Direction and pace was fair. Not entirely one of the best comedies, still it entertains. Surprisingly hilarious in most scenes and it shows some range for Galifianakis. Soundtrack was upbeat which makes the film more enjoyable and support solid having Lithgow and Akroyd on-board. The Campaign is a well directed film which touches on dirty politics, lack of family time, father figure, integrity and good/bad leadership.
