I'm not big on Will Ferrell but I will say this.
He's better than Ben Stiller.
Ben's from comedy royalty tho....his Dad and Mom are funny people yo.

-------y'all are some ornery old farts?
You do realize that his movies aren't going for the Oscar, right?
I didn't realize that hipsters had opinions on comedians?? Who knew?

Not really old fart mentality. But some of the SNL alums have good comic insticts and others don't. Ferrell & Sandler just have never been consistantly funny in films. They were good at sketch comedy but IMO haven't held their own in movies like Eddie Murphey/John Belushi/Chevy Chase/Bill Murray/Phil Hartman/John Candy/Dennis Miller--the list is endless from SNL alone and yes not all I've listed have done well in movies, but these two just don't cut it for me.
Nitpicking a little but I don't believe that Candy was ever an SNL cast member
I liked it okay. Zooey Deschanel made it more watchable. Although I'm not a fan of her singing.
I'm not a huge movie guy..they just don't do it for me. If it's a serious movie, it has to be about a subject I am interested in, but I still struggle to take it seriously.
Having said that...I love a movie that I don't have to pay too close attention to, and can just smoke a doob and laugh.
I am not some super fan er nothing, but I like Ferrell.
Anchorman
Old School
Semi Pro
Talladega Nights
Step Brothers
Thought the above were all funny.
And I think some of Will Ferrel's movies are funny. But this movie is on at Christmas time like its "A Christmas Carol" or "A Christmas Story", or "The Grinch That Stole Christmas". It's not that good at all. It doesn't deserve anywhere near such legendary status.
Now I have only seen it once, and I used to smoke a lot of weed back then, but I remember only maybe one scene in that movie where he fought a midget, where I laughed.
I agree honestly and I say the same thing about A Christmas Story as well. Don't see the hype in either movie.
