About this movie

Get the Extended Cut, with even more mud-slinging, back-stabbing, home-wrecking comedy featuring Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis. 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 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 a cutthroat campaign manager, he soon becomes a contender who gives 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 hilarious comedy from "Meet the Parents" director Jay Roach. Because even when you think campaign ethics have hit rock bottom, there's room to dig even deeper.

Generally not a huge fan of Will Farrell style slapstick comedies. This movie was an exception. The plot wasn't really new but the way it was delivered made it nonstop fun to watch. Zach nailed his role as Marty Huggins. Well done gentlemen!

As long as you don't take it serious, you'll enjoy this! It's like a spoof on politicians! I had to own it! Laughed all the way through 😂😁😅

One of my all time favorite movie! Dylan McDermott is super funny,sexy, and sleazy. He does it very well.
