USER REVIEWS:
kuene 10best comedy of the last 5 years. two words: flute solo.
r0der1k 7Will Farrell reprises his regular buffoon role, and yet it's still mostly hilarious. The Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller, Luke Wilson, Tim Robbins, and Jack Black cameos and plotlines are duds; Steve Carell and Christina Applegate are outstanding. The film drags a bit toward the end.
stevilbot 8it's smarmy, sexist and everything that the description says it is. it's also a lot of fun and not to be taken too seriously. you get your money's worth in laughs out of it and you don't feel too horribly insulted.
it's fun, plain and simple.
ppgc 5Good, but not great. The best part was any Steve Carell appearences. "I'm riding a furry tractor!"
furtive 7It has its moments, but not amazing.
veenified 6Some great comedy but the story gets extremely boring and predictable. It was like they had all these jokes and they wanted to put them together so they took an over used story and made it fit the jokes and characters. Definitely not the best comedy of the last 5 years (kuene) and not the best of Will Ferrell, I liked him better in Elf and that is intended for a younger demographic. Shows how immature movies are getting. There are only certian movies that can pull off being immature.
scrappy 1by far the most boring movie I have seen in years. The scene with stiller, robbins, et. al. has to be the least funny scene in any movie...ever!!!!! Ferrell is no Farley!!!
Jamie 6Good movie for a laugh. Not Farrel's best movie by far, but many funny moments kept a a giggle going. Worth a rent, but not worth a buy...
jmoeller 5After 10 minutes I got the point, I'm sure there is plenty of good Ferrell material for the thick skin viewer who continues on.
madmitch 5Amusing but that was about it. The gang fight between news teams was funny.
Wynns 5Steve Carell makes it worth watching. Other than that, it's like an SNL skit that tries too hard. If you're in a goofy mood, you'll get a few laughs, but don't expect anything more than standard the standard SNL mediocrity.
crazy 5I'm sure the people in the movie had a lot of fun making it, but it wasn't as fun to watch. A few laughs, but nothing too remarkable.
cajigas 9Will Ferrell is in top form for this film. My friends and I have laughed so many times quoting this movie that it's become a part of our vernacular. An instant classic.
figital 3Almost worthless save the line ... "it smells like Bigfoot's dick".
dack 6The laughs get fewer and fewer as the movie goes on, and hit a nadir with the bears. Geez. Still some solid chuckes. A worthly late-night HBO choice.
Oracle 7I agree with furitive.
It is funny but not uncontrolably funny.
This movie is available on DVD/Video
