Pencil In Next Friday! The Funniest Movie This Year Is To Hit Our Cinemas

They are two of Hollywood’s funniest guys, and they’ve joined forces to create one of this year’s most hilarious movies.

We’d say they have as much banter off-screen as on as Will Ferrell has joked with the press that Zach Galifiankis looked “better than expected dressed as a cheerleader.”

The two stars portray warring politicians in their upcoming film The Campaign, soon to hit screens here in Ireland. They have spoken about their most memorable times on set, one of which saw Zach dress up as a young woman.

"Oh, God. There was one scene where I was dressed as a cheerleader, wearing a live python round my neck, and thinking the whole time, 'This isn't going to end up in the movie,'" he recalled to Shortlist. "The snake peed and took a c**p on me at the same time."

Will interjected: "And it didn't - it got cut. He looked better than I expected, actually."

The two funnymen opened up about their romantic histories and both said that they aren't convinced the claim that women are attracted to a sense of humour first and foremost is true.

"You have to be in the movies for that to happen," Zach insisted. "Women love a funny guy as a friend. But nobody likes a funny guy in bed. It doesn't work to say, 'Remember that dinner party? I was hilarious, right? Let's go to bed together.' Plus, comedy groupies aren't usually very…? You know what I'm saying?"

In their upcoming film, Will and Zach’s characters both want to win a seat in Congress. The stars have a plan of the route they would take if they were politicians. Will is sure releasing some shocking information about Zach would boost his campaign.

"I would point to the fact that Zach has a real affinity for what I call 'spa' music. You know the type of music you hear when you're getting a massage? He goes for anything with pan pipes or flutes," Will joked.

"I would point that out as being 'un-American' and odd."

We’re well due a comedy on our cinema screens at this stage and The Campaign looks set to be a real belly-acher.

Get your tickets booked guys, it's due in cinemas next week, September 28th.
