A lot more drama than comedy

Rating: 6/10 (10 September 2005)

This movie was OK, certainly not bad, although it did drag a little bit towards the end. However, I must admit that I am a bit confused at the glowing reviews. It was nowhere near as funny as "Anchorman" or even "Dodgeball." I believe the film was a little confused. You had moments of real seriousness and then they would turn around and throw in some juvenile humor. A bit of a mess really. I like Carrill and Rudd, but they did not have the same surrounding talent as they had in Anchorman. I did enjoy the film OK, but it seemed like the film traded off from directly appealing to 40 year olds and then turning around and appealing all of their humor towards 14 year olds. Like I said, an OK film, but certainly not great.
