No. 4 — The Campaign. Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis get political. Anything goes in this political satire, as small-town politicians duke it out with the extremes to win the vote. Put the kids to bed, though — Cam Brady punches a baby, among a long list of other ridiculous antics. It may be stupid humor, but this movie illuminates the embarassingly low level that politics has stooped to these days.
