Save me Jesus! by Rei-Ginsei	Sep 21st, 2007 09:07:45 AM
Save me god! Save me Jewish god! - I kind of liked Taladega Nights. At least that part.
Who's Will Farrell? by boyblue	Sep 21st, 2007 09:35:43 AM
Is that Colins Brother??
ummm.... by damagedinc	Sep 21st, 2007 09:41:43 AM
PLANT????
I would watch Kristen Wiig in Bad Boys III by BadMrWonka	Sep 21st, 2007 09:44:53 AM
how can someone that looks like that have so much comedic talent? she's a phenomenon.
Please, learn to spell "Ferrell" correctly. by thebearovingian	Sep 21st, 2007 09:48:23 AM
Do it for the kids.
sigh what excentric job or sport is Will Ferrel's... by ricarleite	Sep 21st, 2007 09:51:40 AM
character doing in this movie? Oh, and PLANT.
Has Wiig got that much talent? by ChorleyFM	Sep 21st, 2007 10:08:29 AM
She seems incredibly one note to me. Having seen Knocked Up, Brothers Solomon and a fair bit of SNL she seems to be able to do that one snide-bitchy thing very well but that seems about it. I am really interested to see Brand in this, as he is pretty fucking nuts.
i'll see anything with Ferrell, though Blades sucked.. by HamiltonGeyser	Sep 21st, 2007 10:16:45 AM
he should make a george bush movie
Don't wanna see it... by D.Vader	Sep 21st, 2007 10:36:24 AM
As much as I harp on people for not giving certain movies a chance because of their own biases against an actor in it... well here's a case where I really have to join that crowd. Another Will Ferrel sports comedy. ANOTHER ONE? Did anyone see Kicking and Screaming? What's next? He plays a bumbling kindergarden teacher that's going to play in a World Class Putt-Putt tournament against his lifelong rival, the kid who bullied him since kindergarden, thus teaching his own students the value of truth, honesty, determination, and belief in oneself? Oh dear god, they may actually make that.... I better copyright the idea now.

Nice job. Thanks for the reviews. I'm jealous and encouraged by Semi-Pro's R-rating. Plus it's about damn time we get Woody in another bball comedy.
I by Lando Griffin	Sep 21st, 2007 11:39:22 AM
that is all
That should've said by Lando Griffin	Sep 21st, 2007 11:42:20 AM
I heart Kristen Wiig
... by vanchimera	Sep 21st, 2007 11:52:09 AM
While I'm generally a fan of Ferrel's flicks, I WANT to believe this review... but I got a weird vibe from it when he said, "See, Jackie's a promoter." People don't talk like that; well, no people I know anyway...
Will Ferrell as wacky [insert sports career here] by Osmosis Jones	Sep 21st, 2007 12:11:39 PM
This shit just writes itself, doesn't it?
Funniest since "Anchorman"? by Abin Sur	Sep 21st, 2007 12:47:36 PM
Ugh...why not say "funniest since A Night at the Roxbury"?
will ferrell overrated and just not funny by Mr_X	Sep 21st, 2007 12:55:52 PM
one or two mildy amusing moments in a film, does not make him a comedian. He's just unfunny. The emperors new clothes people!
Correction by AceVenturtle	Sep 21st, 2007 01:11:27 PM
Good looking out guys. my bad for fucking up the spelling on Ferrell. What can I say, late night i guess. Oh and what I meant was Blades of Glory, not Balls of Fury. I'll be more careful next time.
Insider Information by Garbageman33	Sep 21st, 2007 01:16:51 PM
I'm friends with a friend of the screenwriter, Scot Armstrong, who swears it's the best thing he's ever done. Of course, that's not exactly a ringing endorsement given that his other films include Road Trip, Starsky and Hutch and School for Scoundrels.
TIFF! Semi-Pro!! by J-Dizzle	Sep 21st, 2007 01:23:45 PM
Will Ferrell back to his best? Good deal. I enjoyed Talladega Nights but Anchorman is still his best.
Gotta love Will by skimn	Sep 21st, 2007 01:57:03 PM
..understand when he was in Flint, he would sign quotes for people seeking signatures, like "Milk was a bad decision..Will Ferrell"..and the such. And I'm still extending goodwill to Harrelson for Kingpin.
TOO SOON!!! by Pageiv	Sep 21st, 2007 02:12:43 PM
Finally a movie in Flint that doesnt involve Michael Moore!
Ugh...why not say "funniest since A Night at the Roxbur by SpazmoCalrissian	Sep 21st, 2007 02:51:08 PM
Ugh...why not say "funniest since A Night at the Roxbury" exactly
Sounds like Rob Corddry's on his way to stardom by smackvein	Sep 21st, 2007 03:32:56 PM
As for Will Arnett, I really hope he gets better roles
Will Arnett will never get a better role than Gob Bluth by Garbageman33	Sep 21st, 2007 04:09:44 PM
Have the people that keep casting him (poorly) even seen Arrested Development?
Viral Herbology by kevinwillis.net	Sep 21st, 2007 04:40:53 PM
Plants instructed to praise films based on their real experiences, rather than working from studio talking points. Pretty snifty. Sounds authentic but, overall, way too positive.
Will ferrel= by supersize	Sep 21st, 2007 07:23:15 PM
Fucking brilliant that's right brilliant and if you haven't seen Wiig's take on Dorothy you haven't really seen wiig
Anchorman rocked by Cruel_Kingdom	Sep 21st, 2007 07:56:44 PM
So fuck the hate.
Where's Elf 2? by SoylentMean	Sep 21st, 2007 07:56:53 PM
I bet we'll get that right after Fav's finishes Iron Man.
How can you not laugh when Ferrell screams..... by AARONIUS	Sep 22nd, 2007 07:24:49 AM
"You are a fucking cocksucker!" Uh watch me. In fact I would be willing to bet my next three paychecks that won't make me laugh. But then again I'm older than 16 and can remember when comedies contained real talent like Don Knotts or Groucho Marx.
Arnett was funny on 30 Rock by theBigE	Sep 22nd, 2007 08:58:38 PM
And I hear his character is returning this season. Just a spin on the GOB character, but very funny still.
