Movie Review: The Campaign

I am glad I went to see the movie, The Campaign, because it was a very funny movie. It stars Will Ferrel as Cam Brady, who is running unopposed from his district in North Carolina. A couple of CEO's decide that they want a candidate that they can control so they run Marty Higgins, played by Zach Galifianakis. Of course, this means that Cam is no longer running unopposed. Marty is not the "ideal" candidate, because he acts a bit odd, but he is the ideal candidate because he truly cares about his community and wants to do a good job. In the battle between the two candidates, a baby gets hit in the jaw by Cam, and Cam complains that no one is asking him about his hand which hurts after hitting that "iron jawed baby". Spoiler Alert: He also punches Uggie, the dog star of The Artist. Uggie has to wear a cone of shame because of Cam. I'm sure this must have lost him all the dog votes because I will not vote for a candidate who punches an innocent dog! Be sure and watch the movie to see if Cam can win despite not getting the dog vote, but mostly watch it because it is a very funny movie which I recommend. I give it 4 paws up, a tail wag, some kisses, and a nose in the air. That is a 9 out of 10 on the humans movie scale.

Sled Teams are Best

"In 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team."

I'm sure many of you are familiar with this opening line from the television show, The A-Team. This made me wonder, what if you have a problem and can't find The A-Team? I came to conclusion that if you can't get The A-Team, you would need to call in the B-Team. I'm not sure how a team of bees would help a situation. Perhaps having them sting the bad guys, particularly if they are allergic to bee stings could solve the problem. However, after doing some research on the Internet, I found that the B-Team is also a couple of humans who did a movie that was released as The Other Guys. The working title for that movie was the B Team. Imagine calling in Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg to solve your problems for you? If they can't solve the problem, at least they will make you laugh, and that makes a problem seem a lot better when seen with a sense of humor.

If they aren't available, then you could call in the C-Team, but if it gets to the point where you have to call in the F-Team, I'd give up. The F-Team never wins because they are failures. I won't even talk about the desperate humans who go through the entire alphabet and call in the Z-Team. When you have to call the Z-Team, it is just sad.
