The Campaign

In "The Campaign," Will Ferrell and Dylan McDermott play competing politicians in a North Carolina congressional race, their campaign strategies escalating from benign to absurdly grotesque. Ferrell’s scatterbrained candidate harnesses the zeal of a cult leader, while McDermott’s slick incumbent deploys ruthless tactics. The film skewers the absurdity of modern political campaigns with a satirical edge that highlights the circus-like nature of American democracy.
