If you like Will Ferrell yelling all his lines you'll love it!

Rating: 6/10 (19 September 2004)

Let's get something straight, I think Will Ferrell is a funny, funny man. I have some of his appearances on Late Night with Conan O'Brien because he is so damn hilarious while improvising. Some scenes in this movie are very, very funny. Many other fall flat. I have come to the conclusion that Ferrell is funny in short spurts, but it's too much to expect that his over-the-top yelling of his lines would be funny throughout an entire film.
I have been lamenting the marathon sketches on SNL for years and, at times, this movie plays like a 90 minute SNL sketch. Alas, it seems Vince Vaughn is wasted in anything not written and directed by Jon Favreau. No one "gets" him. Steve Carell is awesome.
