That's the one scene in the commercial that makes me not want to see the movie. Well, that and the part about "From the creators of Anchorman...."
I want to like Will Ferrel's movies, really I do. He was a genius on SNL. But his movies succs. Maybe he's only funny five minutes at a time.

Anchorman has just classic scenes in it.
Will Ferrell: So I pick you up, 8 o'clock? Mmm. Nine. Downstairs?
Christina Applegate: Mr. Burgundy you have a massive erection.
Will Ferrell: Really? Yes, I do. Uh, I sorry. It's the pleats. It's actually an optical illusion, it's the pattern on the pants. It's not flattering in the crotchal region.
Will Ferrell: It's the greatest city in the history of mankind. Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Di-ah-go, which of course in German means a whale's vagina.
Christina Applegate: No, there's no way that's correct.
Will Ferrell: I'm sorry, I was trying to impress you. I don't know what it means. I'll be honest, I don't think anybody knows what it means anymore. Scholars maintain that the translation was lost hundreds of years ago.
Christina Applegate: Doesn't it mean Saint Diego?
Will Ferrell: No.
Christina Applegate: No. That's what it means.
Will Ferrell: Agree to disagree.
Paul Rudd: She gets a special cologne. It's called Sex Panther, by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries. Yup, it's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good.
Will Ferrell: It's quite pungent.
Paul Rudd: Oh yeah.

Ferrell's movies get funnier with repeat viewings, particularly Old School and Anchorman.

I'm usually unimpressed with his movies, although i do like most of Elf. I'll probably see this one, just so I can see a movie that Boarder is in. it really looks funny, although I'm afraid the trailer might show all the funny parts.

saw it last night at the drive-in theatre. did not stop laughing the first 30 minutes of the movie. you can tell a lot of it is improv. slows down a little in the middle, but all in all it is really a funny movie. his friend in it( the how much ya bench guy from boogie nights, cant think of his name) steals every scene that he's in. highly recommend it to anyone that enjoys will ferrell. definitely will own it when it comes to dvd.( oh, and stay for the credits, lots of outtakes)

Just saw it. Funnier than a busload of special ed kids at Chuck E. Cheese.
Not the funniest movie evar...but danged worth the cost of admission and I'll buy it when it hits DVD.
"Every morning when I get up, I p1ss pure excellence":texan:
That whole exchange about praying to baby jebus was hilarious.
The red-headed kid ("Texas Ranger") is from Clanton AL and was perfectly cast..."Old man, I'll be on you like a spider monkey!"
Mrs Homey observed they were pretty kind to NASCAR fans and instead focused on the insanely commercial aspect of the "sport" of stock-car racing. I think that was a good move b/c if they had explored/parodied the whole fan scene there might have been some backlash against the film in the red states.
It was a great movie, could have been a tit funnier, but great nonetheless.

FANTASTIC MOVIE! I saw it at midnight on friday morning at harkins in the i-max theater. It was worth it.
If you don't think Anchorman is funny, you have no sense of humor. Keep watching PBS.
You gotta watch it a couple times though.
I saw the Ballad of Ricky Bobby tonight too. I would give it a 9.75 out of 10.
I laughed more at this movie than any other in a VERY long time.

Scout,
Did you notice that John C. Riley played the same role in "Talladega Nights" he had in "Boogie Nights?" Kind of a loyal, kinda dumb, sidekick who finally had to stand on his own two feet when the super-star self-destructed -- 'cept of course they were NASCAR stars, not 70's porn stars.

I didn't notice that but now that you point it out, I most certainly do.
I think he is a pretty underated actor on the whole. He was absoutley great in the baby Jesus vs. grown up Jesus debate.

My seven-year-old (who's seen Elf and Kicking and Screaming) asked me, "Why does Will Farrell always have problems with his father in all his movies?"
