It got me laughing anyway

Rating: 5/10 (3 March 2008)

Will Ferrell has become a fairly predictable comedian. The way he delivers his lines hasn't changed too much from the SNL days. Though he can do it differently - Stranger than Fiction was a departure from the typical Ferrell fare, though not as popular. He sticks to what has sold in the past - and that does tend to wear a little thin.
Despite the obvious lack of innovation on the part of Ferrell, he did get me laughing with many of the ridiculous lines he drops in this film. I wouldn't watch it a second time, but I couldn't help but bust out laughing several times during the film, even though I struggeld through some of the drier parts of the film (the big gang-fight scene for example was not at all funny).
If you and your friends wanna sit down with a couple different movies and need a warm-up on DVD night, I'd recommend it. Don't put all your eggs in one basket though.
