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
mud-slinging, 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.download
