The Campaign
Director:
Jay Roach
The Campaign follows the story of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington with a comedic twist in which our protagonist is an average god-fearing American family man, just a little stranger.
I went into this film expecting to be bombarded with a weak story, dependent on an over the top performance from both Galifianakis and Ferrell but was pleasantly surprised. Neither hold a candle to James Stewart but, Galifianakis did display a refreshing change of pace.
If you're looking for a theater experience with a decent amount of laughs, check it out. With anything else in mind, you may be disappointed.
Keep in mind, I was not at all impressed buy the trailer (Ferrell seems to do most of the work) but was entertained by this flick.
Extra points for Lithgow and Aykroyd!
