funny and full of character

Rating: 8/10 (30 March 2007)

I had a feeling I might like this movie, so went to the advanced screening LA Weekly had for the public last night. I was pleasantly surprised to find lots of great SNL actors in the movie, and at the same time the movie wasn't just some stretched out SNL skit either. All the characters were both goofy and lovable at the same time. The two main characters acting styles really compliment each other and the story fit the pair well. While I wasn't aching with belly laughs, it was a very funny and likable movie. The rest of the audience seemed to be having a good time too. Will Ferrels role was a custom fit and it was fun to see Jon Heder pull off another unique character and not be stuck in Napolean D. Sit back, relax, and let this one grow on you.
