I enjoyed this movie more than I expected. What made the movie great was the style of acting. I think the movie could have gotten out of hand and been a complete mess had Ferrell and Galifinakis come in with their usual outrageous performances. I think it is good that all involved understood that it would have been a mistake to have it be at the same pace as say the Hangover or Anchorman. I also think it is funny that they pretty much poked at the real-life Koch brothers with whatever fake brothers they had. This is worth a watch.

Ferrell sticks to his usual flawed and loud sketch character routine, while Galifianakis tries to create a more uniquely quirky one. There are a decent amount of good laughs here, but it doesn't feel quite up to par with the duo's previous work. I felt the film could've taken a more satirical bite out of politics instead of focusing more on ridiculous antics. However, there is still some slight commentary about greedy politicians and a final message that most of us could agree with.

Man, everytime I think Will Ferrell is going to make a movie horrible, he just kills it. There are a lot of funny parts in this movie. But, some of the humor is a little too silly.
