Ugh. So sick of politics. No interest in this or the USA show "Political Animals." Bleh.
Will watch it just because I enjoy the actors and it should be funny based on seeing they are in it

you're not the only one. Political Animals absolutely bombed in it's premiere.

The Campaign
Release Date: August 10, 2012
Studio: Warner Bros. Pictures
Director: Jay Roach
Screenwriter: Chris Henchy, Shawn Harwell
Genre: Comedy
MPAA Rating: R (for crude sexual content, language and brief nudity)
Website: TheCampaignmovie.com
Starring: Will Ferrell, Zach Galifianakis, Jason Sudeikis, Katherine LaNasa, Dylan McDermott, John Lithgow, Dan Aykroyd, Brian Cox, P.J. Byrne
Plot Summary: 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: naïve 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.

By no means a classic but it was funnier than the previews made it look.

This movie sucked. The guy in front of me walked out. I thought of doing the same thing thinking "this HAS to get better."
It didn't.
Don't waste your money.

Will Ferrells brand of comedy never gets old. I loved this movie and it was hilarious.
