Tops Animal House as my all-time favorite comedy

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2008)

I laughed so hard from beginning to end. I don't give out 10 stars lightly. What was missing that other viewers rated it less than 10 stars? I love saying, it was great, but if only they ..... But not in this comedy. It was original humour, well chosen music, excellent soundtrack. Don't miss this comedy. And just try to feel sorry for yourself and your problems after watching this movie. You just keep chuckling, even days later. Right after seeing it I saw Will Farrell in Semi-Pro, which was funny, but just formula Farrell sports comedy. Reilly hit it out of the ballpark, channelling Dewey Cox to perfection. I disagree with whoever said Will Farrell would have been better. John C. Reilly moved to the A list in my book. SPOILER: Was there a real Dewey Cox? You could just call it another movie about how rock stars become famous, can't handle it, do drugs and burn out. It was that, but so much, much more. It is so rare for a movie to be packed with so many new ways of telling old stories with great performances by all.
