Just saw "The Campaign." *NO SPOILERS* [View all]

It was as if we DUers had gotten together and written a movie about a political campaign. Will Farrell is a hoot as one of the candidates, and John Lithgow and Dan Aykroyd are spot-on as two Koch brother types. There is lots of rude and gross-out humor, and other more pointed political jokes and sight gags that perhaps only political junkies like ourselves will truly get. Plus there are hilarious cameos by folks you are sure to recognize. Despite all the silliness, there is a lot of truth here.
