Film:  The Campaign

A good idea for a movie, but not a good execution.  Just didn't quite work.  Why do they need to make the issues of the campaign so absurd and dumb?  It seems like it could have been equally funny if they dealt with real issues in a real way and then upped the absurd stuff.  I dunno.  On the one hand it would be tempting to think the filmmakers don't understand the real issues, but Jay Roach has been immersed in these political movies - Recount and Game Change - it seems like he's has access to top people.  Then again, maybe idiot humor is played out.
