Director : Jay Roach
Running Time : 109 mins
In a desperate attempt to gain influence over their North Carolina district, two dodgy businessmen – the Motch brothers (Lithgow & Aykroyd) – come up with a plan to get rid of the existing congressman, Cam Brady (Ferrell), by organising a competitor for his position who will do what they say, but they need someone malleable that they can mould to their needs, so they decide on using local tourism operative Marty Huggins (Galifianakis), a naïve family man with no political experience but who has always wanted to get into politics.
It’s been a long time since Will Ferrell has made what I’d class as a laugh-out-loud comedy, but this manages to perfectly balance slapstick comedy with a plotline! Jay Roach (of Austin Powers fame) has done what few have done for Ferrell since Anchorman and directed him in a movie that is consistently funny. It may also be in part thanks to writer Adam McKay who co-wrote both films, but either way Ferrell and Galifianakis make a wonderful pair in this funnier than usual comedy.
