Ferrel was on Conan and they showed a clip of the movie wherein he dumped a bowl of urine over his head, to hide his scent from a dinosaur...he dumped the urine over his head, said the urine tasted bad, burned his yes, then burned everything else.
It was horrible, completely unfunny...the audience and Conan just sat there, there were almost no laughs, this, presumably, for the funniest clip they could bring to Conan’s show.
I just watched that dreck and said to myself “no way will I ever step foot in a theatre and watch that crap.”

I enjoyed his stint with “The Bear” on Man vs. Wild.
I have no interest in this movie, although I do like some of the movies he does, like Elf, Stranger than Fiction, and sadly, Blades of Glory.
I thought he was also good in Bewitched, and in a serious movie called “Winter Passing” (although I watched it for Zooey Deschannel, the better of the Deschannell sisters).
Still, I can’t think of any movies he has done which would really be “family” in the traditional sense. Even “Kicking and Screaming”, which was enjoyable, was also crude and rude.
