Synopsis: When long-term congressman Cam Brady (Will Ferrell) commits a major
public gaffe before an upcoming election, a pair of ultra-wealthy CEOs
plot to put up a rival candidate and gain influence over their North
Carolina district. Their man: naïve Marty Huggins (Zach Galifianakis),
director of the local Tourism Center. At first, Marty appears to be the
unlikeliest possible choice but, with the help of his new benefactors'
support, a cutthroat campaign manager and his family's political
connections,
he soon becomes a
contender who gives the charismatic Cam plenty to worry about. As
Election Day closes in, the two are locked in a dead heat, with insults
quickly escalating to injury until all they care about is burying each
other, in this mud-slinging, back-stabbing, home-wrecking comedy. -- (Written by Warner Bros. Pictures)
