Obviously not for everyone...

Rating: Null/10 (22 July 2004)

I like Will Ferrell, but this movie had no appeal to me. I still ended up seeing it one night when I wanted to go to a comedy. I was not disappointed as I laughed harder then I had in a long time.
The beginning of the movie is very slow and not too funny. Within the first 15 minutes, half the audience had walked out, but they were mostly teenagers. I think this movie tries to capture the cheesy feel of the 70's just as it does with the wardrobe and hair. It succeeds, but I think it alienates people who are used to watching more modern day movies.
Some of the writing is fantastically funny. If you can sit through the slow parts, there are some great jokes and awesome cameo appearances. A well done mixture of 'smart comedy' as well as 'gross out comedy' and sight gags.
