Movie Review by B Movie Ben
December 3rd, 2007

Will Ferrell is NOT funny!

I will be honest. I could not make it all the way through this film. The idea of a 30-year-old man acting as if he was developmentally disabled was too much for me to take. In fact, I don't know any people with developmental disabilities that act like him.

Belching loudly and eating spaghetti with syrup was gross, not amusing. There was nothing amusing in the hour I managed to stay - I couldn't take any more! James Caan looked as if he needed a big dose of exlax the entire film. I would not smile either if Ferrell was my son.

Zooey Deschanel going out with Ferrell. That's about as dumb as Katherine Heigl hooking up with Seth Rogan.

The only redeeming quality of this movie was Mary Steenburgen and Peter Dinklage. Even they couldn't save it.

I have to agree to an extent......Everyone I know thought this film was hiliarious and I really did not see the humor in it. I would give it higher then half a star because I did finish it and thought it was OK.

I also did not like Anchorman which was another Ferrell film that people raved about.

I have only managed to make it through one ferrell film - Bewitched - because I wanted to watch Nicole Kidman. Of course, there are people that hate her as much as I hate Ferrell.

See I thought Bewitched was horrible and made it only about an hour into it. I love Kidman though....she is wonderful.

I liked it....it was stupid yes, but it was so stupid it was funny, and now every time I see a mall Santa I have the uncontrollable urge to shout "You sit on a throne of LIES!!"

Ah, but it could be the real Santa sitting there.
