Daddy's Home





Directed By: Sean Anders

Starring: Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg, Linda Cardellini, Hannibal Buress, Bobby Cannavale, Thomas Haden Church, and John Cena


I've hammered out a number of reviews this holiday season, but Daddy's Home has eluded me.  I'm not even going to bother with Point Break, but I can't ignore the comedy playing second fiddle to Star Wars: The Force Awakens at the box office, especially one reuniting The Other Guys co-stars Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg.  Having seen ...

Get Hard





Directed By: Etan Cohen


Starring: Will Ferrell, Kevin Hart, Alison Brie, Edwina Findley, and Craig T. Nelson

Starbucks, one mighty brand in American commerce, had a rare public relations misstep recently.  The company's decision to promote their baristas as experts on race relations in the United States really backfired to say the least.  That's right.  The young guy or girl whipping up your cappuccino or frapuccino was tasked with having a meaningful exchange with you on what is perhap...

The Lego Movie





Directed By: Phil Lord and Chris Miller


Starring: Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Nick Offerman, Alison Brie, Charlie Day, Liam Neeson, and Morgan Freeman

Wonder Woman has finally arrived on the big screen.  No, Gal Gadot hasn't picked up her lasso and gotten an early start before Batman Vs. Superman arrives in 2016.  No, there isn't some new animated Justice League film.  Voiced by How I Met Your Mother's Cobie Smulders, the Amazonian warrior princess arr...

I wasn't a huge fan of Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't find the film to be pretty damn funny.  With this in mind, I haven't been overly excited for Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues.  Sure, we all do...

If The Hangover Part III proved anything, it proved that it's time for the Wolfpack to step aside.  With this in mind, I have some good news.  The Frat Pack is back!  Later this year, Vince Vaughn will be starring in The Delivery Man, an English language remake of the Canadian com...

The Campaign





Directed By: Jay Roach

Starring: Will Ferrell, Zach Galifianakis, Jason Sudeikis, Katherine LaNasa, Dylan McDermott, John Lithgow, Dan Aykroyd, and Brian Cox

I am sick and tired of hearing about Mitt Romney and Barack Obama this year.  I'm sick of the constant barrage of ads.  I'm sick of the incessant media coverage.  I'm sick of obvious half-truths.  I'm sure the election season has gotten on your nerves as well.  With this in mind, Jay Roach's The Campaign could not have had bett...

REVIEW: Aunque los Rancheros Dicen que Saben Nada, Saben lo que es Cómico en Casa de Mi Padre. (Even Though The Rancheros Claim They Nothing, They Know What's Funny in Casa de Mi Padre.)

Casa de Mi Padre





Directed By: Matt Piedmont

Starring: Will Ferrell, Gael García Bernal, Diego Luna, Génesis Rodríguez, Pedro Armendáriz, Jr., Nick Offerman, Efren Ramirez, and Adrian Martinez

Will Ferrell used to be the SNL vet that gave moviegoers mainstream comedies that set the standard for everybody else.  Just think of future classics like Old School, Elf, and Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.  Lately, he's been on the indie scene.  We recently saw him in the independent flic...

REVIEW: Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie Is a Billion Dollar Piece of Crap

Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie (B$M)





Directed By: Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim

Starring: Tim Heidecker, Eric Wareheim, Zach Galifianakis, and Will Ferrell

Once in a while, I go to the movies, and I almost forget why I love the movies so much.  Sometimes the movies I go see are just so terrible that my faith in the magic of cinema wavers a bit.  Particularly now, in this early part of the year, I really just go into this sort of movie depression.  There's a lot of crap making its way into...
