About this movie

When long-term congressman Cam Brady (Will Ferrell) commits a major public gaffe before an upcoming election, a pair of ultra-wealthy CEOs plot to put up a rival candidate and gain influence over their North Carolina district. Their man: naïve Marty Huggins (Zach Galifianakis), director of the local Tourism Center. At first, Marty appears to be the unlikeliest possible choice but, with the help of his new benefactors' support, a cutthroat campaign manager and his family's political connections, he soon becomes a contender who gives the charismatic Cam plenty to worry about. As election day closes in, the two are locked in a dead heat, with insults quickly escalating to injury until all they care about is burying each other in this mud-slinging, back-stabbing, home-wrecking comedy from "Meet the Parents" director Jay Roach. Because even when you think campaign ethics have hit rock bottom, there's room to dig a whole lot deeper. MPAA Rating: R for crude sexual content, language and brief nudity. © 2012 Warner Bros.

Unbelievable politics can be funny whoever says this film ain't had something removed from birth quote Will Ferrell "If you get my son to call you daddy, turn the page it says f#*k your wife" end quote stellar line from a banging actor

Gave up after the first 15mins. The film tries too hard to be funny but kept missing the target. Very unfortunate for a Will Ferrell film. I would avoid this one.

Very much a let down in every sense of the word. Even slipping the song lyrics into the scenes wasn't very well done.
