Nothing incredibly special, but there are still some hilarious moments

Rating: 6/10 (22 August 2006)

There are points in this movie that are unquestionably funny, despite how stupid they are. Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly, and Sacha Baron Cohen know how to get their laughs and they don't ever back down.
The movie starts out kind of slow, and not very humorous, but it picks up really fast (kind of like its hero) and starts throwing one joke after another at you. Not all of them fly, but most of them are good, and I enjoyed it.
Some people are calling it satire, and I suppose it is, but I don't think I cared enough about the movie to notice the satire. It's smart, but it's pretty much there just for us to laugh with it, and in that, it succeeds.
