Up and Down, but a win overall

Rating: 8/10 (1 April 2007)

After the first thirty minutes of this movie, my mascara was gone and my face was red from laughter. I didn't hear some jokes because I was still laughing at previous ones. While Will Ferrell's character is reminiscent of, well everything Will Ferrell, he's funny as usual. And Heder is great as well. The film does go flat for rather a long stretch in the middle... but that's to be expected. Still, I rated the movie so well because a few priceless scenes and one-liners at the beginning and end make it surely worth seeing. Expect to be a little bored in between the moments of raucous laughter. Just don't think too much about the comedy, and don't judge laughter; if it's funny, it's funny... and this movie is funny.
