The Campaign (2012) - Movie Review

Movie Review: The Campaign (2012)


Directed by Jay Roach Starring: Will Ferrel and Zach Galifianakis

An Open Letter to Director Jay Roach

Dear director,

Since the first time, I watched the promo of this movie on IMDB, I was waiting for this film. Actor Will Ferrel and Zach Galifianakis together would be surely a great reason to watch the movie.

Well, the movie was not as much great as I expected it to be, but surely a very decent time pass for sure. Also within the comedy it sends a strong message to the politicians.

The movie is about a congressman Cam Brady(Will Ferrel) who is a good-for-nothing showoff politician and his ex-classmate Marty Huggins (Zach Galifianakis) who is a big loser who stands in election to be the congressman. Industrialists’ hidden interests (though shown quite childishly in the film, as needed in comedy film) behind the campaign and everything.

Performance wise, Will Ferrel and Zach Galifianakis never lets you down, both are mad mad actors. The film though, doesn’t take very well to where it needed to be. Unlike your previous projects Austin Powers or Meet the Folkers, this one doesn’t let audience laugh a lot, that’s it.

3.15 cheers out of 5 from me.

Regards,
The 70mm Raamadheer Singh - Hardik Raychanda
