Would you buy a used car from one of these people? Film Review: The Goods: Live Hard, Sell hard There's a great movie hiding in the wings of this pedestrian comedy, and a clue of what it is can be found in the title.

As so many other comedic actors are known to do, Will Ferrell doesn't really play individual characters in his films so much as he performs one continuous “Will Ferrell” impersonation. Thus, the “Will Ferrell” persona in “Anchorman” is essentially the ...

In a way, you could say that Ferrell was in the wrong movie, since Ferrell's biggest successes have been in outrageous comedies like "Old School," "Talladega Nights" and "Blades of Glory," films with essentially the same ingredients as "The Hangover. ...

Land of the Lost is Will Ferrell and Danny McBride's latest foray into the comedy universe and sadly this time its pretty pathetic. What Land of the Lost proves is that even the funniest funny men can suck when the writing is absolute drivel. This film relies on toilet humor, low brow antics an...

By The Huffington Post News Editors And Chaka ("Saturday Night Live" writer Jorma Taccone), who was merely a mischievous primate before, is now a shameless horndog who repeatedly fondles Holly's breasts and even finds himself attracted to Marshall's manhood.

It's a little dismaying to hear a man as funny as Will Ferrell give forth with witless exclamations like "Captain Kirk's nipples!" But Ferrell seems to be expending a lot of his career in this sort of schlockbuster trash. What's more distressing is watching Danny McBride, an actor with a fi...

The band was tight, and the sound came across pretty clear and sharp, which is no small feat (see most of the musical guests on "Saturday Night Live" this season). The verdict: Conan's first "Tonight Show" had a mission to introduce the new host to ...

But ultimately this production is less about the legacy of George W. Bush than it is about the comic persona that has been perfected by Will Ferrell. “You’re Welcome America” is a lot like Mr. Ferrell’s more middling movies, not quite on a level with “Blades of Glory” or “Talladega Nights.” Som...

By john@themovieblog.com (John Campea) So the question that has to be asked is… why was the opening weekend of this Ferrell film so weak? I think there are three things that have to be looked at. The “R” rating, early bad reviews and finally, people getting tired of Will Ferrell.

By Alex Billington Well I won't hold my breath until Land or Brothers, and I will still see both and still enjoy both, but I probably won't love them like I love his previous films (e.g. Anchorman, Old School, Elf). Hopefully I'm wrong, but only time will tell.

After Kicking & Screaming, Talladega Nights, and Blades Of Glory, Will Ferrell has returned to the sports comedy well one too many times.

By Scott Weinberg Some people might say that Will Ferrell is coasting, taking it easy, or skirting by on proven formula -- and that may be the case.

By General Disdain Will Ferrell is at again. Once more we have him playing a buffoon character toppled from the heights of fame and power.

By Kaonashi While Blades of Glory was funny, it wasn't nearly as brilliant as Talladega Nights.

Blades of Glory relied more on visual hum...
