Review: The Campaign



Considering his recent track record includes the likes of Due Date and The Hangover 2, Zach Galifianakis can count The Campaign as somewhat of an improvement as he plays a character that doesn't comes across as totally unlikeable for once. In fact Galifianakis' naive Marty Huggins actually manages to garner a fair bit of sympathy when is manipulated into abandoning all his principles to run for office.

Fans of Ferrell might be slightly disappointed though, as much like his George W. Bush impression, he has the voice and look down for a simple Republican Senator Cam Brady - he doesn't actually have that many jokes to back it up.

The lack of laugh out loud jokes or any memorable lines put it below the likes of middle of the road Ferell film like Blades of Glory, Semi-Pro and Talladega Nights - meaning despite being perfectly watchable once, The Campaign is completely forgettable.
