PopMatters Will Ferrel Vs. Zach Galifianakis

The movie review titled, ‘The Campaign’ Gone Awry, by Ben Travers, was a movie review that I could relate to my own personal opinions to a dime. To summarize Travers movie review of The Campaign, Travers basically explains how Will Ferrell is becoming older and his movies aren’t as funny as his previous ones because he is aging and his means of being comical aren’t aging with him. Travers movie review also says that the Campaign is an ok movie and that Zach Galifianakis is the one that makes the movie funny.

I couldn’t have agreed with Travers movie review any more than I already do. When I went to see The Campaign in theaters back in August, I left the theater thinking the same thing. I thought Galifianakis played his part very well and was always making the audience laugh. Then I started to think about Will Ferrell and his part was well just another Will Ferrell part which is always funny and dirty jokes and a couple of swearing punch lines. Those are always funny, but it is the same old Will Ferrell character personality that every movie he is in has. I feel Will Ferrell can still be a comical character in movies if a director finds the right part for him which everyone in the audience has not already seen with one of Ferrell’s previous movies.

Although Travers’ review of The Campaign seems mostly like a negative review, he says it is still a good movie in which I agree, he just says that Will Ferrell’s part was kind of a letdown because he had high expectations in this film.
