Man, how could he diss Babe: A Pig in the City? That movie was kind of fucked up for a kid's movie about a pig, but it wasn't actually bad.

Land of the Lost might be one of the worst movies I have ever seen.
I joined a friend who took her 8-year-old to it, based on the PG rating, Will Ferrell and dinosaurs. Um, no. |

Best part about Land of the Lost was Danny McBride.

Anchorman is the only funny thing Will Ferrell ever did.

How can you like Anchorman and not like Step Brothers and Talladega Nights? I also love Elf. His other movies are meh.

Because Ron Burgandy is a funny character and Ricky Bobby wasn't funny? Elf was ok, but not because of him. |

A Night at the Roxbury was also decent enough.

Maybe as a movie, but his hosting of SNL's celebrity jeopardy was hilarious as well. |

I actually didn't like Anchorman too much. I did like Talladega Nights and Old School though.

Man, I love Old School. Frank the Tank is hilarious. Followed by Mugatu from Zoolander.  A Night at the Roxbury was also decent enough.
I used to hate that movie, but each time I watch it I like it more. Whenever I see Emilio Estevez appear on tv, I have to yell out his name. |

Anchorman was hilarious and by far his best movie. Don't care for most of the rest of em.
Also really dig his Goulet on Conan. Gets me every time.

I traded in my fun blog for several legal blogs. Or, "blawgs," as the cutesy attorney blawgosphere likes to call 'em.

I liked Land of the Lost, mostly for Danny McBride yeah. It certainly wasn't a super high quality film but it was watchable.

I enjoyed Land of the Lost and yes McBride was most certainly the funniest part in it. Will Ferrell is funny IF you can reign him in. You can tell on some of the improv style movies like Anchorman that he will improv for hours if you don't stop him and edit out the shitty bits.

I thought he was really good in Stranger than Fiction. And Everything Must Go was strange, but good. He's a more talented actor than people give him credit for. (Not unlike Bill Murray.)

The problem with actors like that is two-fold. 1) You need a good enough director/editor to give him enough free reign to bring out his best stuff, but who can ruthlessly cull the crap out of it later to preserve just the gems. 2) You need a director willing to sit on the actor's ego. This gets harder as the actor gets more big name. This goes back to "cutting out the shit on the editing room floor" and "forcing the actor to focus when you need to". Seems to be a common thing with comedy actors -- every major example of someone like that I can think of is a comedian. |
