ILSnwdog Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 (edited) I enjoy Will Ferrell in small doses. I don't enjoy bread knives to the gut under any circumstances. Edited July 17, 2008 by ILSnwdog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theworkingman Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I've met him a few times and I would definately go see any of his movies. I think he's hilarious and he's one of the nicest, coolest, most down to earth people I have ever met. I also can't wait to see Step Brothers.

Ancient Ways Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 He is becoming a bit typecast ( ) isn't he? I love all of his stuff. Very talented. His Harry Carey was great back on SNL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love his movies, though I think I've seen Anchorman enough times to pretty much quote it all the way through, so I need a bit of a break.

GeddyRulz Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Given the choices, I'll watch the Ferrell movie. But for the most part, I avoid them. I liked some of his SNL stuff, and I LOVE "Old School," but his latest batch of dumb comedies are turds. I can understand maybe renting them, but paying full theater price for that crap is incomprehensible to me. It'd be like someone collecting "King Ralph" merchandise. "Talladega Nights," "Blades of Glory," etc. - it's just crap. "Mitch... is that you? I'm so cold. I think I see Blue; he looks glorious!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushgoober Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I think he's absolutely hilarious and elevates any movie he's in. He can't make a bad movie great, but he can make a bad movie less bad. He can make a good movie great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertjames1971 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 After seeing Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back I became a fan. After seeing the outtakes on the Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back DVD, most of which are just Will Ferrell improvising, I became a big fan. And that was before the genius of the news crew gang fight in Anchorman. Brick killed a guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, alot of you seem to be looking for too much out of his movies. They're simple and funny. I like that. 'Obviously' nothing. I didn't look for too much before I saw Animal House, Coming to America, Friday, Half-Baked, etc. but I found all of those very funny. Some people just don't like Ferrell's kind of humor too much. Others loathe it and find him annoying. I'm the latter. I couldn't vote. There wasn't a 'I'd rather stab myself, come back from the dead then stab myself again' option Edited July 18, 2008 by JohnnyBlaze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthemic Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 pretty hit and miss for me. he sucked for the most part on snl but his george bush was good. blades of glory was way funnier than it had any right to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 He's never made me laugh once, I actually thought he was being serious a few times and wrote him off as some kind of annoying stupid idiot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I put him in the same boat as Adam Sandler. Kind of one-dimensional with little comedic range. I like one movie from each of them: "Anchorman" for Ferrell, and "Happy Gilmour" for Sandler. Actually, Ferrell's cameo in "Wedding Crashers" was pretty good.

Alex Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I liked the movie Step Brothers a lot, that was one of his best ones in a while. Movies like that Kicking and Screaming and Talladega Knights were boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamneth08 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 He's sort of becoming like Sandler in that its basically the same charachter in all his movies. Anchorman and Elf i think were both pretty original and funny. Old School i feel is a bit overrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
