Movie Reviews

Reviews:
4 stars out of 5 -- "The great thing about THE CAMPAIGN, is that it's weird and strange and surreal and passionate and dirty, a crazy-smart comedy where you laugh until it hurts..." - 08/07/2012 Box Office


"[L]eads Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis are amusingly on point as a pair of mud-slinging contenders for Congress..." - 08/04/2012 Hollywood Reporter


3 stars out of 4 -- "The movie uses their campaign as a showcase of political scandals that have become familiar in both parties....[The director guides] both Ferrell and Galifianakis in playing characters who are at a certain distance from their usual screen personas." - 08/08/2012 Chicago Sun-Times


"[A] film that is truly, scathingly topical -- not just a comedy but a bona fide satire of what's going on now. That's part of what makes THE CAMPAIGN such a tasty, hilarious treat." -- Grade: A- - 08/17/2012 Entertainment Weekly


3 stars out of 5 -- "[With] light-hearted lampooning and cartoony, cringe-inducing gags..." - 10/01/2012 Total Film


"[The film] feels quite loose and freely improvised....It's laugh-out-loud funny." - 11/01/2012 Sight and Sound
