I finally got around to watching it. And I thought it was a really good movie. Will Ferrell is usually lame to me, but in this movie I thought he was really funny. Probably the R rating helped since most of his stuff is PG-13 which limits what he can do & say. What did anyone else think of this movie.

A funny movie. Absurdly stupid, but it worked.

I love it, but it definitely loses steam in the second half of the film. But overall it's still a great movie.

One of the funniest movies this decade (IMO). Not a day goes by where at least one quote from that comes out of my mouth.

Best comedy of the last decade. On the surface, it's a laugh yourself silly movie. Beneath that, it's a scathing critique of our man-child overly-nostalgic culture. It's also, if you really analyze it, the darkest comedy to come from Hollywood in some time.

It was funnier than I thought it would be, that's for sure. Can't stand Ferrell.

I really feel Richard Jenkins makes this movie amazing in my book. Really the whole interaction between Reilly and Ferrel is great but becomes less interesting as the movie goes on especially when they become friends. The whole part of Jenkins trying to force them to grow by getting jobs and being adult and being the generally antagonist and forcing change upon them is what makes the movie. also I really thought his monologue near the end of the movie to Reilly and and Ferrell trying to tell that he didn't want to grow up either and kills him seeing of what them become and wanted to be a dinosaur but his dad told to get his crap together was some of the best written dialogue in a comedy I've seen in the past decade. Sure that was so absurd but most movies wouldn't have the guts to do that so it made it awesome. Also yeah agreed that on the surface the movie appears dumb but really is pretty complex and great and actually intelligent. In my book the best "stupid" comedies of the decade although I'd say Juno, Little Miss Sunshine, Knocked Up, 40 Year Old Virgin, Tropic Thunder and Pineapple Express were better but still awesome movie.
Also I want to add without John C. Reilly as the co-protagonist this movie wouldn't work. A lot of the laugh out loud funny parts were due to him and it amazes me that Reilly is such a great comedy actor now since I use to associate him more as a dramatic actor with films like Casualties of War, Hard Eight, Magnolia, Boogie Nights and Chicago. Really show how versatile he is. I mean Will Ferrell is okay but he's pretty much a one note joke and needs an awesome script and great people in his movies, but a lot of actors are like that and basically he fills his role really well, especially in this but without John C. Reilly this movie wouldn't have been so good.

yeah, the dad saying he wanted to become a dinosaur made me laugh hardest for some reason.

John Bonham's playing "Moby Dick" for real! I love this movie. I was actually thinking about making an appreciation thread for it earlier, and I might just do that.  |
