Catchy title lol, anyway I shall be the first to post in the Entertainment Forum!

Will Ferrell is one of my favorite actors he is rather quite funny in his years on SNL and some of his movies. However he has been pumping out quite a few movies and most of them have been extremely disappointing. His starting movies were pretty good or atleast decent. Elf in 2003 was okay, it was funny and it didn't leave me disappointed. Anchorman, although crude was hilarious throughout the whole movie. Bewitched and The Producers were also two more good movies he starred in. But I believe in 2006 things starting going down hill for him. sad Talladega Dega nights was funny, but some parts I just found plain dumb, it was okay.

And now begins the decline:
Blades of Glory, it had its moments but it was disappointing.
I could not even finish watching Semi-Pro it was so mind numbingly stupid.
Step Brothers, Will and John Reilly have good synergy and are funny together but this movie was borderline bad.
Land of the Lost and the Other Guys, just absolutely terrible.
His voice acting in Mega Mind was amazing. mrgreen mrgreen

I went to see his latest movie in theatres The campaign, it was pretty much what I expected for his movies these past few years. Bad.

My conundrum: He is hilarious, but should I even bother going to see his movies?

To be honest, I only like a very small handfull of his movies.

I enjoyed him in Stranger Than Fiction, because HE did not write any part of it. It was witty, and it had a good story.

I think he did a great job as a voice actor in Megamind. I think he portrayed the character really well, and should do more voice acting.

Other than those two, meh. I really never bother with his movies. Thought, I may watch Elf at some point--(because I have never seen it)--But that depends on the mood that I am in.

Megamind was one of my favorites, he really does bring that character to life. Stranger than fiction was also a good one. And he's making anchorman 2... I fear for it because it is a sequel and it's another of his movies. My favorite skits I liked him in were te SNL celebrity jeopardy.

Yeah, I agree with you with the two movies. I really liked those ones!

I did not like Anchorman all that much. xd But, I guess that is just how I feel for it.

Adam Sandler was ok till he did start acting like Will Ferrel. I don't really care for either. I used to loveeeeeeeeee Robin Williams and he hasnt done nothing in ages. But he is in production new a few new films with James Earl Jones and others. Should be interesting.
