The trailer for the upcoming electoral comedy starring Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis has made it’s debut. The movie, in case you forgot or didn’t realize the name change from ‘Dog Fight’ and ‘Rivals’, is about two Southerners vying for a seat in congress to represent their small district. The movie is directed by Jay Roach with a script by Eastbound and down writer Shawn Harwell and Chris Henchy.
The Campaign – Bande Annonce VO by WarnerBrosPicturesFrance
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: naive 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 that takes today’s political circus to its logical next level. Because even when you think campaign ethics have hit rock bottom, there’s room to dig a whole lot deeper.
Lot’s of babies to kiss! That looks pretty entertaining and seems to be a nice welcome breakup for all the mayhem and destruction that’s been monopolizing my summer movie radar. The Campaign wisely releases itself on August 10th, far and away from what Rises.
