I can't beleive I allowed myself to be talked in to watching this by my daughter (the 19 year old one....)
Terrible. It had one good scene (where Gerard had Ricky in an armlock and discussing crepes), the rest was utter crap.
There
were some interesting comedic ideas that were just done awful!
90 minutes of my life GONE!

Yup. I utterly fail to understand why people liked this movie. It had a couple of good laughs, but overall it stunk.

I can't stand Will Ferrell so I never gave this movie a second thought.

Strange, I'd heard this was very funny. Glad i didnt waste my time.

I thought it was mildly funny, but then I love Will Ferrel (come on, who can't use a little more cowbell in their life?). I think Anchor Man is his best, and one of the top 10 funniest movies ever.
Maybe the problem was Sacha Baron Cohen, again.

Anchorman had it's moments, but I thought it was overrated. Ferrell is a great supporting actor, but I have yet to see him carry a film.
I do give the guy credit for being absolutely fearless in his comedy.

Ferrell was great on SNL, but for some reason he just comes across as incredibly stupid on film.

But he's good in small parts. His part in The Ladies Man" is hysterical.

And he was funny in the Austin Powers movie.

And his character in Zoolander was wild.

I loved it. It made me cry. (Just kidding.)

I actually enjoyed Stranger Than Fiction.

I really liked it too. It reminded me of Jim Carrey in Truman Show. Anyway, I did cry, and I can get away with it since I'm a girl.

Talladega Nights was pretty boring. I agree, Will Ferrell isn't a strong leading man, although Stranger than Fiction was pretty good. I might've cried if he really did...well, you know!

I agree with the idea that he is a better secondary character guy. His role in Zoolander was hilarious! His best movie role ... Cow-bell guy is his best TV role....
