Reilly needs Ferrell, but makes a valiant effort

Rating: 5/10 (1 February 2008)

Maybe it was the fact that there was no Will Ferrell cameo, or maybe it's the idea that John C. Reilly was so ridiculously hilarious in Talladega nights that I had such high expectations. Whatever it was, this film did not measure up. While it definitely makes you laugh out loud multiple times, and will have you repeating lines to your friends, it didn't have the "flow" that most good movies have. It felt like a bunch of random scenes thrown together with little plot. Now I realize that it isn't a drama and that plot development isn't that important for a film like this, It just felt like it was missing something. I would recommend that you see it, just make your friend pay for the rental or something.
