I am just about done with you, Will Ferrell

[RoaringBrewer]

I thought (and it seemed the rest of the theatre) Step-Brothers was pretty damn funny... I do recall saying that John C. Riley was funnier after it was over, but Ferrel was pretty good too IMO. Some of his funny was b/c he was playing off his cast (as discussed previously he is at his best with a good cast) - aka Riley.

Stranger than Fiction is a really good flick IMO... and it shows he's not totally 'one dimensional' IMO. Definitely not pure comedy, but quirky funny at times and a good movie overall.

Old School, Anchorman, and Talladega Nights were great IMO. Elf is 'cute' for lack of a better term... the rest are just ehhh.

Edit: Wedding Crashers is also one of my favorites - but Ferrel's part is so small I don't really consider it one of his movies - But VV is actually pretty decent in this one...

Great Will Ferrell movies: Blades of Glory, Elf, Old School, Stranger Than Fiction, Anchorman and A Night at the Roxbury were friggin great. (He was great in Zoolander too)

Kicking and Screaming and Talladega Nights had their moments but weren't that good.

Bewitched was horrible.

I haven't seen Semi-Pro but I heard it was pretty bad. Everything I've heard about Step Brothers goes along with what Bobby said above. I'll probably watch it soon.

Talladega Nights had their moments but weren't that good.

I really liked Talledaga Nights, some of the satire/mocking was great.

I know a few people that didn't like the movie because they felt the satire hit a little too close to home, though.

I bring this thread back to life!

I watched Step Brothers a couple of night ago and I have to admit that I laughed my ass off. Of course most of the time my wife just sat there and looked at me like I was crazy, but that was the hardest I've laughed in a long time.

Well worth a rental, and I found it more amusing than the last couple of movies that he's done.

I enjoyed step brothers, but wasn't that impressed. His recent movies have all been bad IMO.

[hostileNabusive]

Just my .02 but I thought Step Brothers was rubbish. I think I laughed twice the whole movie. I wanted it to be good, sadly it was not. I'm a big Ferrell fan too.

All he seems to do now is play the same part, but in a different plot.

SWMBO and I are both big Ferrell fans and the two we argue the most about are Taladega Nights and Blades of Glory. I say best ever, she says worst ever. But to be fair, neither of us have seen Semi-Pro.

I maintain that Bewitched was the worst, I can't bear to see him in anything worse than that, which im sure semi pro was.

 

[onejdn]

swmbo didn't think stepbro's was that funny, but I laughed my ass off. I watched it again the next morning

 

[blacklab]

His intro skating scene to Billy Squier in Blades of Glory was totally epic, but it all went downhill from there.

 

[DeathBrewer]

meh. i never liked will ferrell.

 

[ohiobrewtus]

Holy Santa Claus $hit!

I'm sorry, but a grown man older than me teabagging a drumset makes for one funny ass movie all by itself.

Then again, maybe I'm just immature. lol

 

[mmb]

Stranger than Fiction has to be my favorite movie of his, the others, not so much.

 

[hungrymonkey]

must be my sense of humour. But I thought semi pro was a decent movie. Its definantly not talledega nights. But it had its moments.

How could you not laugh when they wore the mascara and got in the fight.

Anyone who disagrees with me is a jive turkey.

Anchorman has been all over TBS.... One of his best, just based on the quotability factor. Also, I work for a loval TV/news station, so it's quoted by all the Ron Burgundy wannabes daily.

"I'm a man who discovered the wheel and built the Eiffel Tower out of metal and brawn. That's what kind of man I am. You're just a woman with a small brain. With a brain a third the size of us. It's science."

I love Carrell in Anchorman.
