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.

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.

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

Agreed about wanting him to try and take on serious roles, although Stranger than fiction deffinatly had a sufficient helping of comedy.

I more or less don't like him in films, though he was extremely good in King Kong, and Tenacious D: The pick of dystany was very funny.
