Running Mates

About This Movie

Running Mates is this quirky blend of comedy and drama that plays with political ambition and personal failings. It's about a governor whose presidential aspirations get complicated by his history as a serial philanderer. The tone has this lightness despite the heavy themes of trust and scandal, which is kind of interesting. Pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but it kind of matches the chaotic world of politics. Performances have this charm, especially in how they balance the absurdity of the situation with genuine moments. Plus, there’s a certain rawness to the practical effects and setups that gives it a unique feel compared to slicker productions. Not your typical political satire, that’s for sure.
