Will Ferrel is currently about as funny as the keyboard I’m typing this on.

Random shit IS indeed funny. Will Ferrel desperately attempting to be random for 90 straight minutes? Makes me squirm in my seat it’s so bad.

Agreed. He used to be great. He gets less funny with every movie he makes. And every role and movie is somehow exactly the same as the last one but at the same time gets increasingly worse.

Im starting to feel the same way about Steve Carell. 40 Year Old Virgin is right up there with some of my favorite flicks ever and it seems like every role he has taken since has been complete crap (except for his part in Little Miss Sunshine). I think what made that movie funny for me in the long run was the improv done by Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen. That MADE the movie for me at least. Carell had his moments but Rudd and Rogen owned that movie. That was some funny random shit

Carell picks bad movies (except for 40 YOV, which is one of my favorites). Some guys can still salvage a good performance out of a bad movie or make the most out of a bad script, but he doesn’t seem to be one of them. I’m interested to see how Get Smart turns out. I’m on the fence about that one.

Ferrel was hilarious in his small bit in Wedding Crashers. The ‘MEATLOAF!’ line is classic. That shit was random.

Yes, and he was even pretty funny in “Old School”. The similarity in both those roles is that he was provided to the viewer in SMALL DOSES.

That’s what he’s good at. SNL skits, and random scenes of movies. He might be the worst lead-actor choice in history, though.

No Nick Cage is the worst lead-actor choice in history. Ferrel was really good in the movie where he hears his life being narrated[can’t remember the name].

Stranger Than Fiction

And yes, there are much worse leading men out there than Will Ferrell. [/quote]

Thanks. I kept thinking it was sunshine something and knew that wasn’t it.

Yea, he has made some gaffs. After 40YOV I was look forward to Evan Almighty. God was I surprised.

Rudd and Rogan were hysterical in Knocked Up. They have great chemistry. I would watch a movie with them starring.

For some reason I’ve actually seen a lot of Get Smart episodes, although I don’t really remember anything other than him going through the elaborate hallway in the beginning.

But as soon as I saw they were making a movie with Carell I thought to myself that’s perfect casting right there.

Con Air kicked ridiculous ass.

…Although that was probably DESPITE Mr. Cage, not because of him.

I think The Rock will steal that movie. Dude’s always been funny as shit. Carell is the perfect Maxwell Smart though.

Pineapple Express looks promising. Rogen and James Franco are the leads and, from the previews I have seen, it looks promising. Rudd is probably going to pop up at some point in the flick.It really doesn’t matter to me either way. Anything Judd Apatow has a hand in I will gladly go see. Except for Walk Hard. That blew monkey balls.

“Sean Pennesque” sanctimonious undertone,WTF is that?
