Don’t like Ferrell, don’t like Hollywood in general but the trailer was lol funny.
Will Ferrell career trajectory has been downhill for years. Hollywood is like the Taliban. They pump out bomb after bomb after bomb.
Agree with you about that Jamie Foxx character - “it’s” name was “Miss Kitty Litter”.
I also liked Damon Wayans and a David Grier in the “Men of Films” spoof. NONE of that could be done today.
Yes, the Jeopardy skits with Ferrell are some of his best, along with the “more cowbell” skit.
As far as his movies go, I thought he was brilliant in “Elf”.
He’s also pretty funny in “Blades of Glory”. He did some spoof film of a Mexican soap opera called “Casa de mi Padre” that I thought was quirky funny. Other than that. Not too impressed.
No it isn’t. It was awful IMHO of course.
Maybe we should actually see the flick before trashing it?!
Ferrell can be funny and Tom Cruise did do one whole movie that didn't make me gag...
That was Harvey Korman
And he was a funny man.
Oh, and the Jeopardy skits are hilarious, especially the interplay between him and "Sean Connery", and Norm MacDonald is actually great as Burt Reynolds.
Almost read that as Les Messman
Nessman

The first Anchorman and Talladega Nights had it's moments. As one other mentioned, the Supporting Cast had a lot to do with it, otherwise pretty bad career after SNL.
“Who can forget Gene Wilder passing for black in SILVER STREAK?”
That movie was pretty funny. Some of the exterior shots were filmed in my hometown of Brea, CA. Back then it was a pretty sleepy Orange County town and it was big news.
re: “Norm MacDonald is actually great as Burt Reynolds.”
Totally agree. MacDonald nailed it in his impersonation of Reynolds. Just like Phil Hartman and Bill Clinton.
re: “That was Wanda.”
Actually, I believe he used both names. Miss Kitty Litter and Wanda. I had forgotten about the “Wanda” name.
This is the best of the “Wanda” skits.

I would disagree, I find him to be a successor to the once funny Chevy Chase............
I've seen him in several interviews relevant to his new movie and his comments were totally spontaneous and hilarious..........
OMG! Are you serious?
