Bruce Diones
Despite the obviousness of its political points, the film has a scattershot, breezy appeal.
Peter Rainer
What these dog days of political campaigning needs is a good, sharp political satire. Alas, The Campaign is not that movie -- not even close.
Andrew O'Hehir
Simply taken as a broad character comedy, "The Campaign" definitely has its moments.
Richard Roeper
It's way over the top, but then again, so are most modern political campaigns. Lots of funny s--- here.
Stephen Whitty
[A] very raunchy and sometimes pretty funny comedy - which isn't above going for dumb jokes, but is also smart enough to play to its two stars' strengths.
Kyle Smith
This movie is single-handedly causing a major rise in our mirth deficit. It's so bad, I'm declaring a laugh emergency.

Saw this in the theater... Not bad. Two over funny guys, doing what they do best, your basic escapist comedy fare, I just let it be what it was. You'll probably laugh, but you won't be surprised or stretched or bowled over in any way. It'll depend on the mood you're in.
So hilarious! Little boy said, "I went to the petting zoo let the goat like my weiner." And everyone goes silent and stares at him lol Haha!! ;D

Hilarious film...!! :-D Hahahaha Definitely a must see film for all comedy lovers..!! These two are perfect for this realm of 1on1, no limits, extreme comedy...!! I had to purchase this film, but it's definitely worth renting for anyone who likes Zack Galifianakis's movies and the type of comedy that's portrayed in films like Talladega Nights, or Due Date. Awesome...!! ;-)
Funny Better that some of Wills recient movie. Its no step brothers. Zack is halerious with the character he plays throughout. Ifs the same akward brother from his stand-up. Had me laughing hard at times. Good movie
Liberal crap This movie was an obvious hit job on the Koch bros. It was never close to funny and felt like propaganda. Definitely not worth spending money on.
I loved it but one error when i finished... When I rented it, it said I had 30 days til it expires. So I watched it the first day I got it and finished the movie (btw i loved it). Then after I watched it, it said it was expired but I could still watch it but not download it? Any help?
Hilarious political satire! Vulgar, funny, moving, and thought provoking. If you know anything about politics, this will make you laugh and cry at the same time.
Top notch political expose It's extremely funny and some of it just over the top but it's probably not that far from the truth of our broken political system.
Its a good one but not best F *ck this is a money vacuum dont be overcharging us people dammit.
Zach and Will are hilarious work so well together, and a great farce of what we consider the democratic process
Worst movie ive ever seen Why did they even bother making it, no plot, all just sexual humor, it seemed to have potential until they ruined it entirely with pointless jokes that werent even funny.
Funny Its funny and daring up to about the halfway point when the director decided to switch the focus to the plot morals. With that being said, there are some moments I wont forget.
Available closed caption Everyone tell me. Yes? Available cc? Or not.... let know me
Expected More Jim is good but Will really misses it. Besides some really slow parts this is acceptable as a rental. Never would buy this.

The Hangover
Comedy

From "Old School" director Todd Phillips comes a comedy about a bachelor party gone very, very wrong. Two days before his wedding, Doug (Justin Bartha) drives to Las Vegas with his best buddies Phil and Stu (Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms) and his future brother-in-law Alan (Zach Galifianakis), for a blow-out bachelor party they vow they'll never forget. But when the three groomsmen wake up the next morning with pounding headaches, they can't remember a thing. Their luxury hotel suite is beyond trashed and the groom is nowhere to be found. With no clue about what happened and little time to spare, the trio must attempt to retrace their bad decisions from the night before in order to figure out where things went wrong in the hopes of finding Doug and getting him back to L.A. in time for his wedding. But the more they begin to uncover, the more they realize just how much trouble they're really in. MPAA Rating: R This motion picture: © 2009 IFP Westcoast Erste GmbH & Co. KG.

In "The Hangover Part II," Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms), Alan (Zach Galifianakis) and Doug (Justin Bartha) travel to exotic Thailand for Stu's wedding. With the memory of Doug's nearly disastrous bachelor party in Las Vegas still fresh—or at least well-documented—Stu is taking no chances. He has opted for a safe, subdued, pre-wedding trip brunch, with pancakes, coffee...and no alcohol. However, things don't always go as planned. Two nights before the big day, at a fabulous resort in Thailand, Stu relents. One beer each. In sealed bottles. What could go wrong? What happens in Vegas may stay in Vegas, but what happens in Bangkok can't even be imagined.

Horrible Bosses
Comedy

Management candidate Nick Hendricks (Jason Bateman) has been logging 12-hour days and eating everything his twisted supervisor Dave Harken (Kevin Spacey) dishes out, only to find he's never getting promoted. Meanwhile, dental assistant Dale Arbus (Charlie Day) has been struggling to maintain his self-respect against the relentless X-rated advances of Dr. Julia Harris, D.D.S. (Jennifer Aniston). And accountant Kurt Buckman (Jason Sudeikis) has just learned that his company's corrupt new owner, Bobby Pellit (Colin Farrell), is not only bent on ruining his career but plans to funnel toxic waste into an unsuspecting population. So, on the strength of a few-too-many drinks and some dubious advice from a hustling ex-con (Jamie Foxx), the guys devise a convoluted but foolproof plan to rid the world of their respective employers... permanently. But even the best-laid plans are only as good as the brains behind them. MPAA Rating: R for crude and sexual content, pervasive language and some drug material. © 2011 New Line Productions, Inc.

Friday
Comedy
4
Hard-core rapper Ice Cube, after appearing in such hard-hitting films as Boyz 'N the Hood and Higher Learning, played his first comic role in this picture he co-wrote with frequent musical collaborator DJ Pooh. Craig (Ice Cube) manages to get fired on his day off (though he claims it's through no fault of his own) and spends the day hanging out with his buddy Smokey (Chris Tucker) and trying to avoid his father (John Witherspoon), who wants him to find another job immediately. Smokey (whose name might have something to do with his tremendous fondness for marijuana) has even more serious problems; he was given $200 worth of weed to sell by Big Worm (Faizon Love), but he ended up smoking it instead, and if he can't come up with the money by the end of the day, he'll be in a world of hurt (and will put Craig in the same place just for being his friend). And Deebo (Tom "Tiny" Lister, Jr.), a gargantuan bully who roams the neighborhood on his bicycle, has it in for Craig, while Craig tries his best just to stay out of his way. As one would expect, Friday features a strong hip-hop soundtrack, featuring tracks by such artists as Dr. Dre, Cypress Hill, Mack 10, and Funkdoobiest, as well as old-school R&B selections from The Isley Brothers, Roger, and Rose Royce.

After years of growing apart, Harold Lee (John Cho) and Kumar Patel (Kal Penn) have replaced each other with new friends and are preparing for their respective Yuletide celebrations. But when a mysterious package mistakenly arrives at Kumar's door on Christmas Eve, his attempt to redirect it to Harold's house ends with the "high grade" contents—and Harold's father-in-law's prize Christmas tree— going up in smoke. Reluctantly embarking on another ill-advised journey with Kumar through New York City, their search for the perfect tree almost blows Christmas Eve sky high.

Quitting is not an option, so, on the strength of a few-too-many drinks and some dubious advice from a hustling ex-con (Jamie Foxx), the guys devise a convoluted but foolproof plan to rid the world of their respective employers... permanently. But even the best-laid plans are only as good as the brains behind them.
Project X

"Project X" follows three seemingly anonymous high school seniors—Thomas, Costa and J.B.—as they attempt to finally make a name for themselves. Their idea is innocent enough: let's throw a party that no one will forget, and have a camera there, to document history in the making... but nothing could prepare them for this party. Word spreads quickly as dreams are ruined, records are blemished and legends are born. "Project X" is a warning to parents and police everywhere. MPAA Rating: R Rated R for crude and sexual content throughout, nudity, drugs, drinking, pervasive language, reckless behavior and mayhem. © 2012 Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.

It's been two years. Phil, Stu and Doug are happily living uneventful lives at home. Tattoos have been lasered off, files purged. The guys have nearly recovered from their roofie'd nights of Las Vegas and being kidnapped, shot at, and chased by mobsters in Bangkok. The only member of the Wolfpack who's not content is Alan. Still lacking a sense of purpose, he has ditched his meds and given in to his natural impulses in a big way—until a personal crisis forces him to finally seek the help of his three best friends. With no bachelor party and no wedding, what could possibly go wrong? But when the Wolfpack hits the road, all bets are off. It is the epic conclusion to an odyssey of mayhem and bad decisions, in which the guys must finish what they started by going back to where it all began: Las Vegas. One way or another...it all ends here.

But when the frat's parties grow increasingly more epic, both sides of the property line begin to fend for their turf. The neighbors' relentless sabotage escalates into outrageous one-upmanship, beginning an epic Greek war for the ages. Also stars Dave Franco and Christopher Mintz-Plasse.
