I'm so excited to see this. I'm a big Will Ferrell fan! I like the caricature humor. I'm not under any illusions it will change my life, but I expect to laugh for 2 hours. I'd love to hear what anyone thinks of it, after seeing it. :-)

Can't WAIT to see this one. I'm looking at it as Napoleon Dynamite and Ron Burgandy on ice... :-)

I'm looking forward to this one too. I'm with you, Eeyore. I love Will Ferrell. He really just makes me laugh.

Saw it this afternoon with the kids. It was okay, but not as LOL funny as Ricky Bobby. The sex addict gag (and especially the meeting) was very uncomfortable for the kids (11 and 13) and could have been easily left out as it added nothing to the movie. I know they hear that stuff at school all the time, but it really was not necessary to the movie plot.

Saw it last night. See, my bf and I didn't really like Talladega Nights (maybe the fact that we're not American/NASCAR lovin' people was a factor), but we liked this one. However, we didn't like it as much as Anchorman, Old School, or Zoolander. I dunno...I am conflicted when I say this, but I just don't know that Will Ferrell is doing anything original anymore. I love him, and he is some of my favorite caricature comedy, but I felt like I had seen it all before. Heder did a god job, and I laughed at some of his "looks". The lip gloss and flowy hair was hilarious. I didn't see TOO much Napoleon Dynamite in the movie, but I guess we'll always link him back a bit. I am not a fan of Amy Poehler. I dunno....I just see the same character out of her all the time. Like the mom in Mean Girls. Will Arnett is funny, but I don't think he was used enough in the movie. I'd give this "typical Will Ferrell comedy" a 7 out of 10 for what he's capable of. I might wait for the video though, if you're thinking of seeing it at the theatre.

this just looks like a stinker to me but I am not on the Will love train, I would think you would have to be a fan to like this.

Yup....I think you have to know you're getting into a standard Will Ferrell movie.

Loved him in 'Elf' and that is about as far as it goes.

Went and saw this today. It was a lot of fun. Some real laugh out loud moments but there were some moments that dragged. It really was standard Ferrell.
