if you can accept that it's bad, it's good

Rating: 7/10 (2 February 2006)

If you can accept this movie's imperfection, to put it mildly, and let then sunshine of original comedy and Will Ferrell's antics in, you'll find this movie is more clever than most other comedies of late. Without Will Ferrell, this movie is nothing, but with him it's got plenty of hilariousness. The played-out style in comparison with other movies with the same frame like The 40 Year Old Virgin and Wedding Crashers is tiring before it even begins, and the cameo by Vince Vaughn and mediocre part played by Applegate are slightly more offensive than the pointless presence of the retarded weatherman, but there are enough original jokes and siliness to make annoyances like these stay in the background. Will ferrell is the funniest man alive, I wish he could be cast in more substantial roles in better written movies, even it they were comedies. His lines and personal comedy are consistently entertaining in this one.
