Not as good as the previews had me believe. No real plot and poor transitions.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

I saw the previews for this movie and I thought " I want to go see that"! However, about halfway through it I realized that I could have waited until it came to HBO. There is a fine line between funny and stupid and there were parts of this movie that fell into both categories. The previews were funny but overall I just wasn't impressed.
If you're up on current events, you'll really appreciate this film. The comedic relationship between Ferrell and Galifianakis is incredible! Some of the jokes used poke fun at things that have happened or are happening in the political world today. Great film, loads of fun!
This is a funny movie to see! Definately not a family movie. The laughs are plenty, and story line good. I do think it would have been better without all the vulgar language. I am not a prude...but that was even to much for me at times. I think the laughs would have been better without the strong language...sometimes it just went overboard. The acting is great, and I loved the story line. A good movie to go to if you want a good afternoon of laughter.
Favorite and capable actors going over the top to illuminate the absurdities and dirty little secrets of campaigning and politics. More amusing than hilarious though there are some luagh out loud moments in dialog, situations and visuals. However, I bet some of the best stuff was edited out or will be in the gag reel. Worth seeing but wait for the rental with the extras.
Pros well paced, great actors, timely story
Cons not as funny as expected
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The humor in this movie is not for the easily offended. Crude at times but has a great lesson/message.
I love movies that you think are going to be sleepers like Bridesmaid and you end up laughing so hard that you fall out of the seat from beginning to the end. I read previous movie goers reviews that said this movie was extremely funny which helped me decide to see this movie. I have to say that I was very disappointed. There was a chuckle here and there. It's definetly not worth the $10.00 movie charge and I would only see this if you're really bored and you have nothing to do or I would wait until it comes to REDBOX. I was expecting an enjoyable movie from two of hollywoods funniest comedians and the movie fell very short. I wish I could get my $50.00 back. Sorry
Its not overly bad, but the move falls flat. It has its moments byt overall is a disapointment. It just never seems to 'get going', and movie itself kind of drags. The potential is there, its just never reached. I'd wait for to hit Red Box or On Demand and save the trip to the theatre.
All the best stuff was in the trailer. Great stars and acting but they lost the story line on what could have been very funny and a good slap to the politicians. Funny stuff but you've got to stand for something to make an average movie great.
Pros great actors
Cons went nowhere, nothing more than what was in the trailer
I'm giving this flick all "Excellent" because it definitely delivers on the comedy front! "Art Direction" & "Special Effects"....psssssh!! You're not going to a Will Ferrell/Zach Galifianakis movie for art direction or special effects. If you want to laugh so much your cheeks hurt, then go see this flick!
I went in expecting a so-so movie with a few laughs here and there. I found myself laughing out loud throughout the entire movie! Much better than expected. Raunchy humor, to be sure, but it worked perfectly for this movie. I would recommend this to anyone with a good sense of humor.
