What do you think of Will Ferrell?

I guess I'm in Junior High because I think he's hilarious.

He's a moron. You couldn't pay me to watch his films.

He's Okay. The Cowbell sketch was pretty funny.

I think he is the worst thing that has ever happened to movies. Not Funny. Not even a little. I can see where he would appeal to junior high boys. Which makes me wonder why his latest movie is rated R. I wouldn't think it's going attract to many adults. (Over 30)

I think he's gotten progressively unfunnier as time goes on. But I still love his SNL days and still laugh whenever he yells. I also liked him in that movie, I can't remember the name, where his life was controlled by the author.

He does pretty much do the same stuff over and over. But I still think overall, he's hilarious.

Wadda ya think about that? That's a fact!

He is by far a giant tool, a horrid excuse for an actor, and far from funny!

HATED IT!

I think he's still funny but he's heading toward Adam Sandler territory by making the same movie over and over. I did like the direction he went in Stranger Than Fiction. His Harry Caray is one of the funniest things ever.

Come on, guys. Ricky Bobby & Anchorman were funny. I do agree with the prevailing sentiment that he needs to break out the same roles over and over again because it is losing its lustre.

Old School, Anchorman, and Talladega Nights were all hilarious. Other than that, it's been the same stuff over and over. His stuff on SNL was amazing, and his cameo in Wedding Crashers was downright spit your drink out funny.

You think so? I've had no desire to see Blades of Glory and I have no desire to see the new movie, and I used to love Will Ferrell.

By the way, he was hilarious in The Producers.

Yeah, the Producers was a very good movie for him. Still kinda a typecast for him, but it was good none the less.

I don't think he's funny in any roles except a silly one. I didn't like Bewitched and the one where he's controlled by the author... I didn't even like Elf. I did watch a Night at the Roxbury today... still a funny movie. Nothing beats Robert Goulet.

Bewitched was one of the worst movies I've seen in years. Blades of Glory was much better than I expected ... but my expectations were extremely low coming in.

Blades of Glory was funny but not as funny as it could have been. Ditch Jon Heder and Amy Poehler and it would've been so much better.

And, yes, I'm looking forward to this next one. It's probably just like his last 2 sports movies but as the Anchorman says:
"We've been going to the exact same party for the last ten years and in no way does that suck."

If you didn't like Anchorman, then the terrorists have won.

i agree with this...and i'll add something...

he was on conan the other night....and i told my wife "he'll probably take his pants off" before he came out....then he came out with rip off warmup pants...i knew it...and guess what? he eventually ripped them off...

and as for the interview...its as if he's playing a character....its not funny anymore...

do i still chuckle at will ferrell? from time to time...is it getting old? yes...he's been in 14 movies in the past 8 years...thats a bit ridiculous...

He's funny. I haven't seen all his movies but the one's I have seen are funny. I watch them for entertainment, not for intellectual stimulation.
