hyped garbage
Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Blistering performances.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
I have three favourite films of all time, they are as follows, in ranking order;Step Brothers, Schindler's list, Gandhi.I need not say anymore.
Yeah, I'm not going to lie: my inner 12 year-old loves this movie. Or at least parts of it. Whenever Will Ferrell and John C Reilly are at war, it sends me into a fit of giggles - and totally feels like they'd ad-libbed half this stuff. It's when these scenes are awkwardly melded into the overall family story that the humor starts to go flat; despite the cast involved. That said, Rob Riggle steals every one of his scenes. And Reilly's random "Boats and hoes!" outbursts has been in my head for ten years now. It's so lovably dumb.
I went in with high hopes, because I'm a fan of Will Ferrel. I enjoyed anchorman, and hoped this would live up to that level of weird comedy. It did. A couple of things though. This movie is not a thinker. If you had a long day or just want to laugh without engaging too much, this is the movie for you. Will Ferrel and company are hilarious in their roles. The first dinner scene in particular was great. One of my life goals now is to attend the Catalina Wine Mixer. Is that even a thing? Under all the comedy, there is a nice message. Don't lose yourself, or become something you don't want. Chase your dreams, and have fun doing it. Overall I enjoyed this movie because I didn't have to think, and the laughs were plentiful.
Quite literally one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I did not even smile while watching the film. I am slowly loosing hope for comedic films as a whole. I refuse to hop on the "so stupid it's funny" bandwagon. Have writers simply decided they don't want to work on meaningful comedy anymore? I am not a fan of Will Ferrel movies in general but I will admit that I have, once or twice, chuckled while watching one of his films. This film, in particular, contains not one redeemable moment. Characters are unrealistic and unlikable. The premise of the film is cringe worthy. I do not plan on ever watching a Will Ferell movie again.
