Like others have said, Will Ferrell is hit and miss.



all comedians are hit and miss. When your main objective is to be funny, you are going to throw out some duds.

he has some really memorable roles

zoolander
old school
elf
anchorman
step brothers
east bound & down

he's prob the most talked about character in wedding crashers


those stack up with anyone

His Ace Venture and Dumb and Dumber movies were not even remotely funny to me.


This can't be serious.

I like him in 3 movies

Elf
Anchorman
Old School

Everything else to me doesn't compare. His small role in wedding crashers wasn't bad too though.

I find him either hilarious or unbearable, nothing in between really.

I love Anchorman, Talladega Nights, Old School, Elf, his character in Wedding Crashers, Stranger than Fiction, and his voic ework in animated films is good.

But his other movies I can barely even watch.

I've seen him perform in person and he was hilarious. He held court on a movie panel for 45 minutes and killed.

I like a couple of his movies - particularly Blades of Glory - but in general I think he is way overrated.

short doses and as a secondary character he's great


This. As that bizarre quasi model terrorist in Zoolander, Ferrell was aboslutely hystercial -- far more so than anyone else. Same for his role in Old School where he's not the lead guy. In fact, if you were to conduct a poll of his best movie lines, "Mah Boy Blue!" would rank up there.

For lead roles, he sucks although I have to say that when Ricky Bobby had scenes with Borat, I peed.

He's funny in a few roles. But compared to Russell Brand and Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell is Richard Pryor.

I actually like Ferrell's and Carrey's dramatic roles even better than their comedy roles.

I think he's kind of getting stale, but I still think he's funny.

I liked him in Old School the most.

the hidden extra he did with Blue watching Girls Gone Wild was hilarious.

its called Ask Frank.

scroll through the menu options sometime and see if you can find it.

Like most on here I like some of his films and I don't like some of his films.

With that said he has had some great moments on SNL.

He has his moments. But I am usually annoyed by him. I thought he was the worst part of The Other Guys.
