Satire of CNN and MSNBC Hits the Spot

Rating: 7/10 (5 October 2018)

Doing stupid comedy is not as easy as it seems. Will Ferrell proves that he is one of the best in the business at getting these tough roles done. He is Chevy Chase with a heart and a brain. The supporting cast of this farce is outstanding, and the cameos are pretty funny: I enjoyed Jack Black as a biker who loves dogs, Tim Robbins as a ruthless gang leader, and Ben Stiller as a crazed Hispanic (I really didnt buy him as a Hispanic, but he was funny, anyway). This film had tons of comedic talent, and most of it was well-used; except for Steve Carell. Not buying Steve as a complete idiot; he has too much native intelligence and sensitivity to be the idiot he tried to portray. Other than that faux pax, the film is pretty funny. Even Christina Applegate stretches her abilities and gets the role done. A must-see comedy.
