The funniest movie in 5 years!

Rating: 9/10 (13 July 2004)

This is one of the most hilarious films in recent memory. Not to discount other recent comedies, most notably Jack Black's teamings with writer Mike White. But there were several moments I was laughing so hard, tears were streaming down my face and I could hardly breathe. And it is very rare that a film has one moment that can provoke that sort of response from me. Will Ferrell has always been a very gifted comedic actor, but with this film he has found the perfect role. Christina Applegate provides a very good counter to Ferrell as well. And the supporting cast is nothing short of amazingly funny in their roles, especially Steven Carrell. I hope we see much more of him in years to come. Great cameos too, but I won't give them away like some of the previous commentators have. In short, go see this movie and laugh your a$$ off.
