I think I finally get it now...did Will Ferrell film all his movies in one afternoon, just one long scene? Now they just chop it up, send one out every year?
I can't vouch for Screaming and Kicking (I wrote that off as a kid's movie), but I laughed at bits in every one of the movies represented here (except the new one which I haven't seen). Also, Anchorman is one of the funniest movies of the last 5 years. I don't understand your problem with Will Ferrell. Is he not supposed to work? Should he do more serious movies like Stranger Than Fiction? Do you want him to turn into Bill Murray? What gives?
he prolly gets 100 scripts given to him a day. he can choose one thats funny without it being "doofus is bumbling about for 2 hours; takes shirt off", cant he?
although the way these things go straight to #1, its hard to blame anyone but the ticket-buying public. they're prolly filming "Farmer Dollup: the Boy Who shits on a Shovel and Runs Around with His Shirt Off" right now, and it will make $100M first weekend.
Would you take away Charlie Chaplin's hat, moustache, and twirling cane? Does Will Ferrell have to reinvent himself in every movie? Besides, bumbling doofuses are always funny. And taking his shirt off is his twirling cane (and, not to mention, much more tasteful than dropping your pants). You're out of line here, Xmastime. There's nothing wrong with laughing at the bumbling doofus.
I just saw WF in " Old School" which was modified for prime time crap TV viewability. He plays a newlywed, not too bright, but trying to tone down his wild side for the sake of the marriage...you know. He's at a Frat party at his friend's house and is coerced (sort of not) into taking these blitzes from a beer bong thing and of course gets loaded, and decides to go streaking down the street...in his black briefs (added for TV veiwing, which was funnier to me, anyway. Of course, his new bride and her friends, among them Leah Remini, happen to be driving down the same street. They don't know it's him and they are laughing until the wife realizes it's her husband. It could happen. It could. In the movie they broke up over it...
He cracked me up in " Drowning Mona" with Bette Midler.
