Stranger than Fiction was a good movie.

I didn't like Anchorman.

Talladega Nights was alright.

Blades of Glory was amusing at points.

I liked Talladega Nights. I liked Blades of Glory. I liked Stranger Than Fiction. I really liked Old School. I loved Elf. I didn't like Anchorman at all. That about covers his movies I've seen. Pretty good track record for Will.

I only made about 30 minutes into the movie before hitting the eject button and returning it to the store.

What a horrible movie.

Odd that you'd be a Will Farrel fan and not like Nights... its no different comedy than any other of his movies, just a different setting.

The only funny part of the movie was when he named the cougar Karen. Nothing else was funny.

The only good Will Farrell movie I've seen is Stranger Than Fiction.

It was about on par with Anchorman. It was too long though. I liked Blades of Glory better. And Old School even betterer.

Blades of Glory over Anchorman???

:confused:

Talledega on par with Anchorman???

The dinner scene

Precisely. It had a few hilarious scenes. The rest of the movie was just retarded.

the prayer / dinner scene was probably the funniest part of the movie & it comes very early in the movie.

certainly not the best / funniest movie ever, certainly not the worst, either.

I thought Anchorman was pretty good but I feel he had a better cast to work with. How could you not like the fight scene and the discussion afterwards? "Brick killed a guy."

Anyway, Talladega Nights was awful IMO. I liked Stranger than Fiction the best. That was really a good side of Will.

Sorry Goose, it was hilarious. Obviously you just don't have the mindset to know how to enjoy utterly stupid movies.

/watched this and Larry the Cableguy: Health Inspector in the theater. LMAO

You pooped in the refridgerator? And you ate a whole wheel of cheese?

How'd you do that? I'm not even mad, that's amazing!

And here I thought I was the only who hated it. This thread gives me new hope for humanity.

It's not nearly as bad as Balls of Fury. And it even had his grace, king of kings, Christopher Walken. Stop your bitching
