Who's your Michael Cera? - Blu-ray Forum

cajmoyper · 06-15-2009, 01:08 AM

I think this guy is so unfunny, I don't understand why anybody hires him. He's the same character in all his movies with the same lame sarcasm that's just got nothing funny to it. And then when you combine him with the producer version of himself, Judd Apatow, you get Superbad, which was aptly named. Who is someone everyone else thinks is funny, but you don't?

but to many people, he's great in THAT role, but i too think he's been typecast...i can't ever see him playing a completely serious role, because he's just that guy...but I think he plays it perfectly, as do studios, which is why he continues to be cast in similar roles.

Conan O' Brien.

He plays the nerdy kid quite adequately. I don't find him too irritating in that role.

yep, exactly (way to catch me before the edit

)

I think he was hilarious in Superbad, but yeah, then he kept playing the same role (annoying in Juno) and it's getting kind of old.

And I hate to admit it, Will Ferrell has lost his funny. I absolutely loved Anchorman, and still do. But his new movies haven't offered anything new.

completely agree on that...he was incredible in anchorman, but all of his recent roles seem exactly the same, MINUS (imo) stranger with fiction. i'd love to see him take on more serious characters like that...i think he definitely has potential outside of comedy.

thedarkangel1975 · 06-15-2009, 02:27 AM

I never thought Will Ferrell was funny in any movie. To one there own i guess. I think Michael Cera is funny though.

PH3AR · 06-15-2009, 02:33 AM

I dont mind him, but he could be funnier like in Superbad everyone was funny but him, but he does has his moments of being funny

STARSCREAM · 06-15-2009, 02:36 AM

I think he's awesome. For me it's the way he delivers his lines that's so great. He's so nonchalante about everything and his manuerisms are great too.

andyman1970 · 06-15-2009, 02:41 AM

Will Ferell, never cared for him to much.

Let me add Andrew Dice Clay and Howard Stern to that list.

I'll agree with all three of those.

Jason Statham, after buying crank and transpoter I will never have a need to see any more of his movies unless he finds a way to play a new character.

Rantlers · 06-15-2009, 03:05 AM

Dane Cook
Jonah Hill
Mos Def

vegeta88 · 06-15-2009, 03:58 AM

Danny Trejo, I can't stand him being in any movie and he ruins the magic of cinema for me.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and I like Cera I think he is funny.

SammyG · 06-15-2009, 04:00 AM

Cera was great on Arrested Development, but downhill after that.
