The director, Etan Cohen, is an Israeli born orthodox Jew.
Then there were the great parodies like I’m Gonna Git You Sucka and Hollywood Shuffle.
It was filled with great satirical ideas. A bit much but much more interesting than most American comedies.
Meant to say that thought Will was not in any of them, those were the funniest movies ever for me , left out that small detail.
I had to have extensive dental work and was forced to watch “Elf” in heavy rotation.
At least that had Zooey Deschanel so that helped ease the pain a bit.
How about as funny as a colonoscopy without the sedative?
The movie sounds funny. Will Ferrell is not always funny but he does have moment, especially in someone else’s scripts.
Even Zooey couldn’t save it.
Tom Cruise’s Les Grossman character was just as funny as Downey Jr’s.
: )
dfw, I agree. I’ve never understood the attraction to the guy. He’s dull.
A lot of people like Will, but I just don’t get him I guess. Add me to the list of people here that do not think he is funny.
Elf is ok, and ‘more cowbell’ was a great skit. But that is about it...I clicked on this thread just because I hadn’t even heard of the movie, and was curious...
Him & his Butt-Buddy, John C. Reilly!
POS Libtards & not funny too boot!
I liked Anchorman, but that was more for the ensemble cast than for Will himself, he was actually the weak point of the movie.
Space: The Infinite Frontier with Harry Carrey was brilliant https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLhj3A1BwuM
“Will Ferrell is about as funny as a root canal.”
The type of “comedian” than thinks if you yell and shout and act hysterically then what you are saying and doing is funny.
He had a great cameo in Wedding Crashers. Very funny. He got shot with a trank dart in another movie, and that was funny.
Hear! Hear! “Blazing Saddles” will never be topped. There are people who can tell you every line in that movie…the sure sign of a landmark film.
