not THAT good

Rating: 7/10 (5 April 2007)

I went to see it based on IMDb reviews and I gotta say I think some are seeded. I'm a fan of Will Ferrell but let's talk straight. It's:
* better than Talladega Nights
* not as funny as Old School
* falls obviously shy of Dodgeball
* nowhere near Zoolander
Ferrell's good, Heder's spot on, Nelson keeps solid, and the girl from the Office is adorable. There are some laugh out loud parts (phone sex, cross bow).
But the movie's heart is off. Imagine the Farrelly Brothers were called in late in the game to gross it up.
Remember, Heder's biggest fans are adolescent girls! IF you're going to make fun of him, lock him in a __girls__ bathroom.
Not terrible. DVD funny, even matinée funny.
Not full price.
