The Campaign

     So, if you're looking for a relatively funny movie with a not so hidden message, then look no further than The Campaign. The best/scariest part is that a lot of the craziness is kind of true.....The second best part, it's set in North Carolina!
    The directors/screen writers make no qualms about where their political ideologies lie, this film criticizes a Republican legislative race by simply making fun of all the ridiculous things politicians do. But it also makes fun of the media, by showing some of the ridiculous things they do. Big money runs the world, buys the race, and, of course, wants fewer regulations so that we can be like China, so they can increase profits by saving on shipping
   There are plenty of funny moments, but there are also times where they go a little too far. But really, what else can you expect from Will Ferrell and Zach Galifainakis. On the whole, they really do make for a great team. This movie hits a few low blows, but if you're willing to accept that it's supposed to be a comedy making fun of everything, like Taladega Nights for Nascar, then you should find the humor.
    However, I still cringed at some parts that were ridiculous and supposed to be funny, but also seemed to be taken straight out of the headlines. Made it a little less funny. Then there were some things taken straight out of the headlines: a picture of a penis tweeted to a mistress, a $400 hair cut, and much much more.
    If you want to see a ridiculous movie, pay attention to politics, and are fed up with how things seem to be running right now, then this is definitely the movie for you. If you are a Republican and can handle all the jibes, then don't be afraid. If you're most anyone else, you probably should skip this one.
    In the end, I give this a 6 out of 10. Be sure to stay after some of the credits, there's a gem of a jibe at Citizens United!
