Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis play opposing and predictably over-the-top political candidates running for a North Carolina House seat in the Warner Bros comedy The Campaign directed by Jay Roach. It’s set for release August 10, a couple of months before the U.S. presidential elections — just in time for Barack Obama and Mitt Romney to glean some last-minute pointers.

Will Ferrell is not funny.
Different strokes for different folks…
I got a kick out of it.
I’m sure the haters are about to open up their mouths wide, take a deep breath and spit on this one…
I just wanna say, having no association with anything remotely related to this film, it looks pretty damn fun.
Love all these guys, including Roach.
Finally, a comedy about something!
Totally agree.
What a dank dark world it must be in the haters’ parent’s basements where they all lurk on their outdated PC’s, just waiting for the next shiny thing to tarnish with their bile.
Why go to the effort of creating art when it’s so much easier to feel better about yourself by just disparaging the efforts of all the people with the talent, courage, and work ethic, the ones who actually get out there and DO something.
Hey, dummies: Will Ferrell just did a whole friggin’ movie in SPANISH. Of all the comic actors to accuse of not taking chances, this is not the dude.
And come on, this looks f-ing HILARIOUS. I have no involvement with the movie, other than looking forward to it.
Come on, haters. Come into the light. It’s so much nicer than your folks’ basement.
But wait, it’ll be so much easier to just crap on this post. So, go ahead. Have at it, trolls.
Yes, please.
Yawn. This is Ferrell’s Bush impression, which was sort of funny eight years ago when the guy was in office, but now feels tired but mostly just…irrelevant.
WILL goes back DEEP in to the well, let’s see it’s, Talledago accent with a little Anchorman, and the fresh humor of well, you get the point.
It would be great if people like you had to take a picture of themselves and their surroundings when posting negative remarks like this.
Haha awesome comment, that made my day.
Wow, Will, how did you EVER come up with mixing your Bush impression with John Edwards’ hair? Brilliant!
The sad thing is that this may be viewed more like a documentary than a comedy. Havew you SEEN the people running for COngress and Senate? Yuck!
Good point…movies about ridiculous politicians are always either 1 or 2 steps away from ACTUAL pols.
This could be a shakey cam and off screen interview away from a 20/20 exposé.
Love Ferrell. I dont care how much Kicking and Screaming sucked, it doesnt negate the fact that he is talented and this looks promising. I always want to give Galifiankis a shot too but he doesnt seem to have much in the bag. This seems like a rip off of Jack Black in Bernie. Pudgy, mustacheod, lisping southerner?
I am amazed at the ignorance of your comment about ZG’s character. He has been doing this character for about 8 years – long before Jack Black made Bernie. But what can one expect from someone who does nothing but write negative things on message boards that no one reads except losers like me and you. Honestly, your knee jerk reaction is testament to the fact that you have no idea what you’re talking about.
Are we electing our president in September this year…?
Sorry haters, but I laughed. Can you not just sit back and enjoy something for what it is? I assume none of you were expecting Shakespeare. Nobody does comedy/farce better than Jay Roach.
“Nobody does comedy/farce better than Jay Roach.” HAHHAHAAHA! Actually, almost everybody does. Seriously.
Wow, what a ridiculous and cheap bit of snark. Check the box office my friend and tell me what the dollar signs tell you. Nobody beats Jay Roach is what they will tell you. For what it’s worth as well, as someone who knows, there is no nicer or more grounded person in the business. Snark away my friend.
Is that Ferrell… or Dennis Quaid?
Because it looks like Quaid.
looks too over the top. that style of comedy died a long time ago.
Another unfunny 2 hour SNL sketch, atleast this one doesn’t take place in the 70′s.
I can’t believe people have gotten to the point of defending against non existing “haters”, honestly most people don’t actively hate on something as insignificant to their lives as the latest Will Ferrell movie they either think it looks good or they don’t, that’s it. There is no hidden agenda and I don’t even know why the “evil haters” would all be losers living in their parents basement and closed to this “art”…is a 90 minute broad summer comedy get a grip.
Next time at least wait before the “haters” hate on the thing before blasting people that don’t exist.
Good trailer, looks funny. People eagerly anticipating ‘the haters’ are kind of pathetic. Next time wait for some actual hate before spouting off.
Seriously who picks Zach’s films? I get why Will keeps doing the same OLD movies. But Zach has to pick better films, or maybe he is just a joke! Can’t see any more movies like this. You are both actor so ACT!!!!!!

People know their movie sucks when they start the dialogue by attacking the haters that have not yet shown up.
