My husband is a big Will Ferrell fan and so my whole family was excited to see this movie. First off this movie is nothing like a typical Will Ferrell movie. Not even close. We have two daughters ages 12 and 14 and there are several scenes within the first 10 minutes that are very obscene before we even saw Will Ferrell in the movie. I bit my lip and continued to let my children watch the movie because kids today have pretty much seen it all due to the internet and so fourth. I will admit, the first part of the movie was really silly but once the story about the mall kicked in it was actually a strange and funny movie. John C. Reilly gives a stellar performance. Maybe the best performance in the entire movie. Hard to imagine he went from doing really good drama movies to comedy and then onto this kind of comedy. But he pulls it off very well. He is one of the finest character actors working today. After some very obscene parts in the middle of the movie I finally had to send my daughters out of the TV room. My husband really didn't have much to say about the movie. He cracked up during the Top Gun part as did I and there are moments in the movie when I actually was more stunned than anything but I kinda enjoyed the movie over all for some strange reason. This would be a terrific movie to watch with your friends just to see their reactions.
