Yes, i can see that :-D We seem to have a lot of very similar views!

I meant that as a compliment.

Will Ferrell used to be hilarious, but I agree with the popular sentiment that his style is wearing thin. He was great in Stranger Than Fiction as a somewhat serious role for a change. I think he's pretty good when he parodies George W Bush too

bruce_pullen · 02-03-2009, 05:49 PM

No one's seen Winter Passing (2005)?

XSilentCobraX · 02-03-2009, 06:14 PM

dont like him, his to stupid to even bother to watch his films..

Sussudio · 02-03-2009, 06:16 PM

imo: annoying in some movies (talledega nights, step brothers), great in others (anchorman, stranger than fiction).

Tcan21 · 02-03-2009, 06:18 PM

The Ladies Man was the worst film that Will Ferrell has been in, but I like him and willl usually go see any film that he does and then buy it on blu.

Will will open in NYC anyday as BUSH.
In it, a Condi Rice look-a-like does a hot and steamy lap dance in a
fantasy (5 min) sequence, in hot red panties. She steals the show.

Ferrell will most likely record the show and put it on Blu-ray.

I like some of his movie, but for the most part he's just too annoying. Most of his roles seem far too forced.

Dirk504 · 02-03-2009, 06:28 PM

I only liked:
Step Brothers
Old School
Anchorman
Night at the Roxbury

The rest of his movies float in the toilet.

STARSCREAM · 02-03-2009, 06:44 PM

I had high hopes going into Semi-pro and it was one of the worst movies....ever!

I think he has tremendous comedic talent, however, he has unfortunately been in quite a few stinkers.

technosnob · 02-03-2009, 07:14 PM

Like crack I can only take him in small doses!!!

MY TOP 5

1. Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)
2. The Other Guys (2010)
3. Zoolander (2001)
4. Stranger Than Fiction (2006)
5. Step Brothers (2008)

SixSpeedSamurai · 02-02-2011, 08:21 PM

Great Odin's raven, how did Anchorman get so many votes? That's one of the best.

Yeah, he plays the same dude over and over, but it's worked for Adam Sandler too, so why stop?

The_Basterd · 02-02-2011, 09:05 PM

I've seen most of his films. He could be an excellent dramatic actor like he was in Stranger Than Fiction. He needs to make more dramas.
My top 5 favorite Will Ferrell movies:
1. Step Bothers (One of the funniest films I've ever seen)
2. Stranger Than Fiction
3. Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
4. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
5. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby

DiscoDan · 02-09-2011, 05:54 PM

Stranger than Fiction is the only one worth watching

arcadeforest · 02-05-2012, 12:50 AM

Hit or miss - for the most part I like his films but some are just so bad. My favorite does not really fit his mold of film - Stanger Than Fiction

Falaskan · 02-28-2012, 08:01 PM

He's just annoying to me.
