Land of the Lost Movie Review

05 Jun 2009 20:00:00 PDT

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...

Review: `Land of the Lost,' indeed

05 Jun 2009 12:54:18 PDT

Written 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. The joke doesn't work even once. More on Will Ferrell

Opinion: 'Land Of The Lost': Into The Mild, By Kurt Loder

05 Jun 2009 07:32:00 PDT

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...

Opinion: The Comedy of Ineptitude, Political Division

05 Feb 2009 22:36:25 PST

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...

Written by Monika Bartyzel
On the one hand, it's yet another goofy, retro Will Ferrell movie, and yet another W.F. sports movie. But as Scott said in his review, "it's really tough to complain when a comedian doles out "the same old shtick" when that same old shtick is still pretty damn funny." In fact, he goes on to say: "I h...

Opinion: What Caused Semi-Pro To Tank At Box Office?

01 Mar 2008 23:35:05 PST

Written 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.

Opinion: Will Ferrell on Will Ferrell's Future Movies

29 Feb 2008 23:24:45 PST

Written 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.

Review: Semi-Pro

28 Feb 2008 15:02:00 PST

Written 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. There's a lot in Ferrell's latest flick, Semi-Pro, that feels like material left over from the comedian's soccer comedy (Kicking & Screaming), his car-rac...

Will Ferrell and Adam McKay do some funny work and they’ve recently collaborated with Michael Kvamme, an aspiring young comedian, to create the website Funny or Die. It’s a huge catalog of videos from people around the country, some trying to be funny and some actually succeeding.

TV Review: The Slanted Screen - Asian Men In Film And Television

28 Apr 2007 21:12:02 PDT

Written by Matthew Milam
If you are black and named Will Ferrell, no movie. If you are white and named Will Ferrell, the checks can't come fast enough. What happens when you replace the word "black" and replace it with "Asian"? You will find the results are about the same, especially if you are an Asian male.

Movie Review: Blades of Glory

Written 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. It's his bread and butter and he'll continue to push this shit out until it becomes unpopular. As a matter of fact, just last year Ferrell squeezed out Talladega Nights: The Ba...

Why do I know this is happening? Because that is the power of a great Will Ferrell comedy; it stays with you long after you leave the theater. It stays with some longer than others, but the one-liners always stick. And as much of a fan as I have been of these movies (Anchorman, Talladega Nights, E...

Movie Review: Blades of Glory

31 Mar 2007 15:01:33 PDT

Written by Kaonashi
While Blades of Glory was funny, it wasn't nearly as brilliant as Talladega Nights. What's great about Talladega Nights was that much of the humor lay in the ad-libbed dialog from the cast. It's a lot more quotable, and to me, it becomes more memorable. Blades of Glory relied more on visual hum...

With what's basically an extension of his Ricky Bobby character from Talladega Nights, Will Ferrell once again arrives in theaters doing what he does best -- playing a complete ass. This time, however, he's traded in his spiffy race car for a pair of ice skates and a role opposite Napoleon D...

Review: Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby -- James' Take

03 Aug 2006 16:05:00 PDT

Written by James Rocchi
At first glance, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby looks like a re-iteration of the last film from star Will Ferrell and his writing partner (and director) Adam McKay, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. The jut-jawed clueless self-confidence of the title character; the mo...
