...Ferrell will both star in and produce the film, aptly titled Reagan. The project has yet to find a director....

The film takes place during the former president's second term as he begins to suffer from dementia, at which point an intern is tasked with convincing Reagan he's an actor portraying the president in a film.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

Doesn’t take the Amazing Kreskin to predict that this movie will bomb. Hollywood will splooge all over it, but the public will totally ignore it as the celluloid trash that it will be.

I’m looking forward to the Bill Clinton movie that mines the rapes and sexual harassment for laughs. Its comedy gold!!!........................................ Yeah, it would be, especially if its made in San Francisco by the porn industry. I’m surprised they haven’t already made it. It would be a laughter feast, who could they star as Hillary?

[surroundedbyblue]

Career suicide, as it should be. I hope this film tanks along with Farrell’s career.

[Balding_Eagle]

I imagine they really are going to make the film.

Unbelievable.

It will help drive voters to Trump.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

I’d rather have Reagan’s second term than any term of any president who came after him — seriously.

[Resolute Conservative]

I am one of those who think that Ferrell is a POS and not funny to boot. He, Robin Williams, and Jim Carrey irritate me to no end and I cannot stand to watch anything with them in it.

It sorely disappointed me when MLB let him run around last year and “play” for each team. I would not watch that BS either.

WILL FERRELL was never funny. To me he is the anti-funny.

His biggest concern and what I find most disgusting would be his mocking of Jesus Christ.

[LeonardFMason]

Too late!

[Romans Nine]

That’s right.

Liberals never never never stop. They still want to trash Reagan 30 years later.

We conservatives trash each other. Go figure?

[Georgia Girl 2]

Who does he think would want to watch that?

[CodeToad]

He’s never been funny. He’s one of those no-talent types that thinks shouting and acting frantic makes something funny.

The Left has to make fun of a man who freed about 500 million people, brought down the Berlin Wall and ended the Iron Curtain.

I wonder if Ferrell is really playing a character in his movies.

[griswold3]

Obama said in a recent magazine article he wants to bury the myth of Reaganomics.

[ek_hornbeck]

I wonder if Hollywood would greenlight a similar "comedy" about a muddled, brain tumor-afflicted Ted Kennedy. More to the point, most conservatives who despise Ted Kennedy and his policies would still see such a movie as tasteless and would be repulsed by it. Apparently that's not true of the perpetual 13 year olds like Will Ferrell who pass for "comedians" today.

On the bright side, I saw this story earlier on a the Telegraph (UK) website, and most of the comments posted there were along the lines of "I'm no Reagan fan, but this is disgusting." So at least some liberals have a modicum of maturity and decency left.

I heard that there is a BC movie in the works.

Ron Jeremy has been cast as Bubba.

I borrowed this comment from another site but it is too good to miss out on:

“A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author.”

― G.K. Chesterton

Says it all doesn't it.

[Captain Peter Blood]

This film will fall flat on it’s face.

There are way too many people out there now as care givers dealing with this everyday and people will not find this remotely funny. I am one of those care givers and every day has it’s moments and it is difficult.

So count me as one who no longer has any use for Will Farrell.

[Captain Peter Blood]

I saw Reagan give a speech in D.C. in 1993 after Clinton was in office and he was great. He nailed Clinton to the wall and was funny. He could have been in the very early stages, but if he was no one knew it.

There are way too many people out there now as care givers dealing with this everyday and people will not find this remotely funny.

I'm guessing that anyone who has had a parent or grandparent with dementia will be revolted by this movie, including people who don't like Reagan or his policies. The exception to this may be the self-absorbed, 100 selfie per day, instagram obsessed millenials, who are probably the intended target audience (then again, how many of them even know who Reagan is - if it was before their time, they seem to know nothing of it).

Will Ferret is a one dimensional one character moron, like most of the SNL alumni. I commented before that there is a channel called Antenna TV that runs the old Johnny Carson shows. I never noticed when I was younger how much Carson disliked Reagan, but it's quite telling that well over 90% of the time he told a joke that took a cut at Reagan the audience remained almost completely silent.

I believe that there is still a lot of love and respect for Reagan despite the best efforts of liberals and the school indoctrination system and this film will do as well as the majority of ferrets efforts, that is poorly.
