Pretty Rough Around the Edges, But is has Ferrell

Rating: 7/10 (1 April 2007)

If you are expecting to see Anchorman/Talladega Nights/ Dodgeball, well, this really is not quite at that level. The film seemed a little rough, as if it were kind of rushed to the theaters. Outside the two main characters, not one other character is remotely developed or valuable to the story. That being said, if you love Will Ferrell, who cares? Ferrell is funny at everything he does and his Chazz Michael Michaels character is no exception. But the character is a little more SNL skit than motion picture character like Ricky Bobby and Ron Burgundy. Heder is pretty good, but obviously it is Ferrell that is going to bring the fans in. Like most Ferrell movies, the plot is not essential, we want to see Ferrell, preferably with his shirt off, acting crazy. He does both. If I really had to rate this film fairly, I would give it a 6, but hey, I love Ferrell, so how about a 7.
