Wedding Crashers is one of the funniest first hours to any movie I've seen. But its amazingly unfunny in the last act.

I can't wait to see In Bruges, I let it slip passed me but I thought it looked great.

That is the problem with me lately… I don't find any of the new "comedies" funny. I thought In Bruges was funny as hell and probably the best comedy I have seen since Wedding Crashers (which fell apart in the end). Actually, In Bruges may be the best comedy I have seen since I loved Dumb and Dumber way back when Jim Carrey was still funny.

Unfortunately, as you say, you can never really critique someone's sense of humor. Either you find it funny or you don't. In the case of Anchorman… I don't.

You can't really tell someone that something is funny if they don't think it is but uh, yeah, Anchorman is freaking funny. Have you no soul?

Will Will Ferrell ever stop? I know the man can be funny, but an entire movie is too much for me. It would be great if he actually played someone entirely different each time, but that doesn't seem to happen.

He's got a following, so obviously he can continue as he pleases…. but don't the "Ferrellers" ever get tired of the same character, time and time again?

I agree, at least about Anchorman, I love it, and is definitely in my top ten comedy list(along with movies such as the Jerk and Dumb &Dumber)…Talladega Nights though…not so much.

You really must dislike Will Ferrell. Anchorman, to me, ranks in the top ten comedies of all time and Talladega Nights (while not as good as Anchorman) ranks as one of the best of this decade. I fully understand that he plays basically the same character in virtually every film he stars in, but who cares? He is funny and people like him. I say let him make what he wants to make.
