Stunning, Surprising, Amazing - Give it a chance!

Rating: 9/10 (7 April 2007)

Will Ferrell is by far one of my most favorite actors in the business. This movie truly shows and proves that he can certainly do more than a comedy. The first 10 minutes I was bored and wondering why in fact Will Ferrell did a movie like this. By the end I was absolutely stunned at how well he did. I forgot Mr. Hilarious and zoned into the character he was playing. The man I was watching the movie with got bored 10 minutes in and did not give the movie a chance. I feel that it was necessary to have such a dragging beginning to truly fill the concept. The screen play was delightful! I can't rave enough about how surprised I was. It is amazing to me that one person can think of such an amazing movie. I feel that Maggie did wonderful as well in playing her political (or should i say non-political) role. Dustin Hoffman was brilliant as always, in bringing the comedy in such a simple and humorous way. It was somewhat refreshing to see Ferrell be the complete opposite. I am not usually one to comment on a movie I have seen. This movie brings up questions that come through everyones mind. Is all our lives becoming too routine? In the future, I will seriously consider checking out any film that Zach Helm has written. Simply Brilliant. Bravo!
