Well executed comedy

Rating: 10/10 (11 July 2004)

I feel that the review that's posted on the first page for this film is completely unfounded as the reviewer suddenly perceives to know how and why the strangers around him were laughing (saying it was contrived laughter).
I found the film to be a laugh riot. As usual, Ferrell delivers the laughs without holding punches. This is a man who never thinks twice about how ridiculous he might look when delivering the funny.
What could have been a boring premise in the hands of another director and cast became a hilarious playing ground for the well seasoned talent in this film. Cameo upon cameo peppers the film with unforgettable performances and no doubt, this film will soon become a cult classic like Office Space before it.
This film just shows what we have always known - critics can never agree on what's funny. You can agree about a drama being poorly written or a science fiction film not filling in the plot holes, but comedy is such that not everyone is going to find the same thing funny. No one can truly tell an audience what is or isn't funny because comedy is a personal thing. And this film certainly proved to be funny for me and everyone who I attended the showing with.
If Will keeps up this kind of work, he will survive long after those around him have perished. Keep up the good work, Will!
