When I fell in love with Zoolander, I fell in love with Will Ferrell. So, I was terribly eager to see this film. This was the first movie that really put him as the lone star; I had to see it.*

The movie did not disappoint, insofar as I came to see Will Ferrell be hilarious. He was at the top of his game and his timing was damn near perfect. Unfortunately, the story was not that hot. I thought the writing was a little tired and predictable. Thankfully Ferrell and the rest of the cast were able to make up for the uninspired script. Aside from Will, I thought that Daniel Tay was especially good (he's the young kid, who also played a young Harvey Pekar in American Splendor).

At this point you have likely realized that this movie is only good if you like Will Ferrell or like-minded comedians. He carries the film, as it would have been totally unbearable without him.
