AS COMPARED TO SOME OF HIS OTHER COMEDY CLASSICS...THIS IS FUNNY BUT STUPID. WILL FERRELL NEEDS TO BE A LITTLE MORE SELECTIVE.

Don't get me wrong, I love Will. However, this movie is a stinker. I held out hope it would pick up steam from the start, but was disappointed. The high point was... it does come to an end eventually. Sorry Will. Better luck next time.

In a movie with so many giant comic talents - Will Ferrell, Will Arnett, Andy Richter, Kristin Wiig, Woody Harrelson, etc - I was shocked to laugh ONLY ONE TIME in the whole movie. I've given a lot of thought to how this movie went so very wrong and have come up with the following:

Where other, better Will Farrell movies had a plot only to serve as minimal scaffolding for zany antics, this movie stuck slavishly to the terrible cliched sports comedy story line.
Jackie Moon is too sympathetic - he's an idiot, but not a total pompous ignoramus - so when he does stupid things you cringe instead of laughing. I felt a lot more pity than anything else.

This is classic Will. If you like his other movies, you will likely like this one as well

If you love spoofs...you'll adore this one as I do. Will Ferrell could never be unfunny. Well written and acted. Everyone in this movie is spot on! I am in the middle of watching a friends dvd right now, and ordering my own!

This is a very funny movie, but it's more like one long chuckle than scattered belly laughs. Solid, enjoyable, awesome soundtrack, but filled with swearing, therefore not marketable to kids. It IS funny, though, and I have to get the soundtrack.
