An Okay Comedy - But there is Better

Rating: 6/10 (15 July 2004)

I had too high of hopes for this movie I think, being a huge Will Ferrell fan. Don't get me wrong - it is funny - just not as hilarious as I had assumed it would be. There are plenty of chuckles and cameos to keep you interested in the film, but it is not something I could see over and over again. The outrageous moments seem a little forced to me. Plus the chemistry between the cast is lacking something and even the reels during the credits are not that fantastic. I did enjoy the 1970s feel, but it wasn't enough to salvage the whole movie. I can't help but compare this film to Dodgeball which is much more bizarre and laugh out loud funny, with superb comedic chemistry between all the players. If you need to choose between the two, see Dodgeball.
