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 mudslinging, 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.
