The Campaign (2012)
Directed by Jay Roach
this film stars Will Ferrell, Zach Galifianakis, Jason Sudeikis and
Katerine LaNasa. A long term incumbent congressman suddenly gets a
new challenger in the form of a bungling corporate stooge.
While the political
landscape in the US is wide open to satire the script of this film
tends to be more interested in broad humour than biting satire. There
are some moments with obvious real life parallels but these often
come across as token efforts. Generally the film is not badly made
and the cast are of a high enough quality that they can sleep walk
through a film like this.
3/5
