I really like Will Ferrell and his movies no matter how goofy they can be. This movie was not really funny and had sexual parts that were not necessary and detracted from the film. It was a disappointment.

"Seen that/heard that" was what came to mind as I tried to watch this movie. Will Farrell played the same character he always does, but the sophomoric humor even lacked substance. Waste of my time, waste of Will Farrell altogether. Seems like he did so well when he worked with Chris Kattan in their first movie. I still have hope that Will can come out with something better for us in the future.

I am a big fan of Will Farrell movies, but this one was boring and dragged out. It was no where near as good as any of this other movies. For me, it was it worst ever movie.
