Two rival North Carolina politicians with presidential aspirations tangle with one another. Long-term Congressman Cam Brady (Will Ferrell) makes a huge public gaffe and, for the first time in his career, is forced to fight an election campaign against another candidate — Marty Huggins (Zach Galifianakis), unwitting big-business stooge and manager of the local tourist office.
PRO REVIEWS
----------------------------------------
"Why are Huggins and Brady both Republicans? I'll save you the trouble. It's because Hollywood is run by a lot of rich liberals (...) Rating: *** (out of four)" (Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times) ----------------------------------------
"Maybe the surreal realities of the current campaign really are beyond satire, ridicule, parody or ready comprehension, but this ultimately puerile gagfest has little reach and less grasp" (Joe Morgenstern: The Wall Street Journal) ----------------------------------------
"Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis trade barbs and sling mud, but the humor is inconsistent and the political satire lacks bite (...) Rating: **1/2 (out of four)" (Claudia Puig: USA Today) ----------------------------------------
"Ferrell and Galifianakis make for entertaining rivals in a flimsy political satire that too often mistakes bad taste for comic acuity" (Michael Rechtshaffen: The Hollywood Reporter) ----------------------------------------
"'It's a mess' is the campaign slogan of Marty Huggins, played by Galifianakis. He's referring to the state of government. But he might as well be describing the movie in which he co-stars (...) Rating: **1/2 (out of four)" (Claudia Puig: USA Today) ----------------------------------------
