Better than Dodgeball!

Rating: 9/10 (28 December 2005)

Okay, first off this is Will Ferrels greatest movie, and may perhaps stay that way, and the reason is EVERYTHING! From the completely stupid one liners, to the hysterical references that come thick and fast, indeed even the outstanding cameos. Nearly everything about this film is perfect if you're just looking for a title to relax with, maybe share a glass of scotch with... It isn't the most profound movie in the world, and it certainly isn't "clever" but let's face it, it's a movie where Will Ferrel is a sex god and anchormen rein supreme - it's not taking itself seriously so why should you? Of course this movie couldn't survive with just Will Ferrel goofing off and not being supported by some quality talent (as is shown by his many other movies, yes i'm looking at you Kicking and Screaming!) This is where his News Team, Brian Fantana, Brick Tamland and Champ Kind come in, and for the most part they do their jobs fantastically, with Brick often being the scene stealer of the movie, and possibly the most quotable man in history. And that's where this films magic really lies, in the way you and your friends can quote it for hours, whether it's one of Ferrels outbursts, or one of Bricks stupid one liners, it can have you rolling in stitches months after you've seen it, this gives the movie serious sticking power and always makes you go back for more, on that note I've just heard the DVD start up again, I'm off, you stay classy IMDb.
