The Campaign

The Campaign starts strong with effective political setup and delivers its biggest laughs early, particularly with the infamous baby punching scene that had audiences roaring. However, critics felt the film lost its satirical edge in the middle section, becoming too reliant on crude material and smut rather than sharp political commentary. The ending recovers somewhat with moral resolution, but most reviews suggest the film never quite lives up to its potential despite strong performances from Ferrell and Galifianakis.
