The Campaign

Movie: The Campaign
Major Actors: Will Ferrell, Zach Galifianakis, Jason Sudeikis, Dylan McDermott, John Lithgow, Dan Akroyd
Rating: R
Best Audience:  Teenagers about age 15 and up would enjoy this, as well as adults that have an immature sense of humor.
Review:

This is one of those movies that is funny and entertaining, but not great.  If you are bored and would like a few stupid laughs, it is worth seeing.  Go with low expectations, and it will probably not disappoint.  The humor is on the immature side, so it definitely a movie men would enjoy more than women. 

One thing I do like about this movie is how even though it is "political," they do not really "take sides" with a political party.  The movie criticizes the entire American electoral process, especially the act of essentially "buying a candidate," or "buying an election."  The movie also distinguishes that there is a difference between a good political candidate and a good person, and in order to be one, you can't be the other.
