“..in its ramped-up media-farce way, The Campaign leaves no satirical stone unturned..”
by Owen Gleiberman [Entertainment Weekly]
“..holds none of the shots for the right length of time. Is the idea of the bit amusing? Potentially, in a sadistic way, yes. The execution is just lame..”
by Michael Phillips [Chicago Tribune]
“..good at being cynically smart about the horrors it's portraying, and gleefully vulgar and absurd about wringing laughs out of those horrors..”
by Glenn Kenny [MSN Movies]
“..before the 2012 presidential election has a chance to get really nasty, "The Campaign" vigorously swoops in to satirize how low things can go between a pair of rival congressional candidates..”
by Peter Debruge [Variety]
“..a good idea with no place to go..”
by Bill Goodykoontz [Arizona Republic]
“..a flimsy political satire that too often mistakes bad taste for comic acuity..”
by Michael Rechtshaffen [Hollywood Reporter]
Review rate : B-
“.."The Campaign" look much more like "Waiting for Guffman" or "Spinal Tap" than "Step Brothers" or "Talladega Nights"..”
