A good, solid comedy

Rating: 7/10 (21 April 2007)

Ferrel did his job, carried out his shtick and had a character that he could do a lot with. Heder, although had a napoleon-esq character showed some dynamics.
as far as the plot, it was solid, funny, ridiculous enough to be funny but doesn't weight you down (ie Ferrel Movie "Ricky Bobby") i would have like to see some Leslie Neilson type comedy, although the very end was pretty random. i guess two types of comedy wouldn't have worked to well
the other actors weren't anything special but they did fine, visually it was pretty good, although the times they used CG was more than apparent, but some cool transitions, some funny shots. the flow and timing of the story was great, some movies, even comedies, can screw up on this (ie "Man of the Year")
otherwise, I'm surprised, it doesn't need the excuse of being a comedy to not be a good movie. if that made sense...
