FilmApe’s review:
Wan't a smart, intelligent, and witty take on the American election process? Forget that The Campaign even exists, and watch the last season of Parks & Recreation.

This looks terrible. I'm really hit and miss on Ferrell and Galafinakas is not funny at all.
Wes Anderson and Jody Hill are the only directors working today who make comedies that cause me to genuinely laugh. I was going to add Judd Apatow as well, but I find his work more charming than laugh out loud funny. Given that these 3 directors only make films every few years or so, that means that 99.9999* percent of comedies released are just garbage. I honestly laugh more watching The Loved Ones than I did watching The Campaign.
*I'm horrible at math so this may not be factual.
Yeah I'm usually not a huge comedy guy anyway. I don't think I have one straight up comedy in my top 100. I find something like Clockwork Orange hilarious and funnier than 99.9% of comedies released today. You're definitely more of a Judd Apatow fan than me. I really only like 40 year old virgin and I'd still only give it maybe a 3 out of 5.
+1 on the Parks and Rec comment.
