Feral Ferrel comedy

Rating: Null/10 (19 December 2013)

Firstly I am no will ferrel fan, but I am seriously getting tired of hearing about this particular movie. I saw this once in the theater (sadly) when it first came out, I don't remember laughing much. But all over the net everyone seems to quote this movie, that and I got the feeling it must be some kinda cult movie thing that only hipsters like. So it was on TV and I decided to watch some it. WOW. its terrible. its not funny. its no different then any other stupid will ferrel comedy, which means its basically ferrel screaming and acting stupid, more screaming, over reacting that wasn't very funny at all in the first place. I couldn't stand him on SNL, and I cant stand him now. he is NOT a "comedic genius" in the same way andy kaufmen is not. both were known for being really stupid and there was not even a whiff of intelligence in there comedy. Now, think about some truly great comedic actors, like Bill Murray. That guy is hilarious no matter WHAT he does. Yes, bill was also guilty of acting like an idiot but that was VERY early in his career and even when he WAS acting stupid, he was still 100% more funny and fun to watch then anything will Ferrell has ever done. Bill Murray is great because he can be funny but then be emotional and someone you feel for. He can be funny one minute and serious the next. Scrooged is a perfect example. Ferrell clearly does not have that kind of range as an actor, and if THIS crap is supposed to be for Ferrell what Groundhog day is to bill Murray, then I must concur with the other poster who said this is the Death of Good Comedy. somewhere in the 2000's comedy got painfully unfunny with VERY few exceptions. What's interesting is that I watched the first 2 teenage mutant ninja turtle movies from the 90's with my Girlfriend recently (having never seen them before) and almost busted my ribs laughing at some of the stuff in those movies. yet an actual "comedy" like this made me laugh not even once, instead it only made me think "well THAT was gross" and "ew, people really find this crap funny? Have peoples standards gotten this low?". Another movie that is somehow popular and stupid that I hate is super troopers. what's the deal with these junk movies? not funny, not funny, and NOT FUNNY! enough with Ferrell, put him in a cage and throw away the key already.
