Ferrell's best performance

Rating: 8/10 (18 September 2010)

First of all, I'm a fan of comedy before anything, and Will Ferrell is a comedy actor. Though he has his over-the-top moments often, he is a funny human being who easily makes me laugh 80-90% of the time he's on camera. I was expecting this film to be a lot funnier than it was but wasn't at all disappointed with it. It is a beautifully written story that is completely original and acted out superbly by a wonderful cast. Not so much comedy in this one but well worth the hour and 52 minutes. Ferrell has proved that he's not just a goof ball by doing something great in a different genre and the outcome is far from disappointing. Hopefully there's more where this came from.
