Two powerful CEOs pit a blundering congressman against an unlikely political newcomer in order to seize control of a crucial North Carolina district in this satirical political comedy starring Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis. On the eve of an upcoming election, incumbent congressman Cam Brady (Ferrell) makes a misstep that threatens to end his career in politics. Recognizing the opportunity to gain influence in the aftermath of the public gaffe, a pair of scheming CEOs handpick credulous tourism-center director Marty Huggins (Galifianakis) as Brady's political rival, quickly shaping him into a viable candidate with the help of a seasoned campaign manager. As Election Day draws near, Brady and Huggins cast ethics aside to engage in the brand of hysterical mud-slinging that's sent contemporary politics straight down the toilet. Jason Sudeikis, John Lithgow, and Brian Cox co-star. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
Ferrell and Galifianakis are a good prescription for a bad day. Really nothing terribly special about this movie but it made me laugh and I didn't have to think about why.
kind of stupid. I'm not a big fan of Will Ferrell and I was hoping this would be better than most his other movies but he was pretty much the same acting as all his other movies.
This is the first time I really like Will Ferrell. Of course Zach Galifianakis( if you could pick any name as an actor I would not pick my last name as GALIFIANAKIS because nobody on the plant can remember this stupid name) is soooo funny HAA HAA ha... It is about the up coming election and has pre-dicked that Obama WILL LOSE .
