(2012) [Trailer]
Director: Jay Roach [IMDB]
Synopsis: Will Ferrell plays a congressman who goes up against a surprise candidate... Zach Galifakjnakjnfdfsdis.
The trailer I saw for this film held a lot of promise and seemed like it could rise to "best comedy of the year" status... sadly, that was not the case. Actually, the biggest problem I had with The Campaign is that all the best parts are in the trailer. It was a real flat line for me and all the unspoiled comedic moments weren't really enough to make it a pass. Will and Zach do their shtick and it's what you'd expect from them at this point in their careers, but something seemed off for me. I didn't hate this, but it certainly could have been much better.
"all the best parts are in the trailer"... man I hate that
ReplyDeleteThis was quite a good time in the theater. Maybe it's better with a crowd.
ReplyDeleteyeah, a good crowd always helps. It was just me on this viewing and I guess I'm no fun.
DeleteMaybe it is just me but Will Ferrell hasn't been funny in a long time. He is like Adam Sandler to me. The first few movies were really good but then the shtick just got stale
ReplyDeleteHe's hit or miss I think, depends on who's directing him. I always find that when he teams up with Adam Mckay you get his best stuff ie: Step Brothers and Anchorman.
