Review of The Campaign (2012) by Grant S — 24 Sep 2013
Not too bad. Has some very funny lines and scenes and does parody American politics quite well. However, it does get mired in empty sentimentality and sub-plots that go nowhere. Plus, neither of the contenders are likeable, leaving no "hero" to support.
Good performance from Will Ferrell. Zach Galifanakis' character was particularly irritating, but hard to fault the performance too much. Good support from Jason Sudeikis and Dylan McDermott, plus from John Lithgow, Dan Aykroyd and Brian Cox in minor roles.
