Blades of Glory (Will Ferrell)

Ferrel has the potential to be an amazing comic actor along the lines of Steve Martin (in his day!) and Robin Williams; true some of the frat pack films are just tiresome, but watch Stranger Than Fiction and you shall be convinced that Ferrel is no run-of-the-mill passing fad.

I need to see this movie!!
WIll FERREL, WILL ARNETT, AMY POHLER AND JON HEDER
I NEED TO SEE IT!

Will Ferrell was hilarious, but I couldn't stand anyone else. Pretty awful movie.

I think Will Farrell and Jim Carey should make a movie together.

what did he offer in that movie that wasnt expressed in his earlier movies? dont get me wrong. I like Ferrel to a an extent, but i really dont think he has anything to offer as far as drama goes. He can barley keep my interest from each one of his fly by night comedies

I love Will Ferrell. Anchorman, Old School, A Night at the Roxbury, Talladega Nights, funny flicks.

Jon Heder single-handedly ruins every movie he's in though. Sometimes he gets help in ruining a movie, sometimes he doesn't need it.

As for Heder, he's got to be funny here, or he'll be out of work.

An easy going, identifiable character; sure he's no Brando on the dramatic department, but what do you really expect?

Anchorman had charm, but most of the time the story just kept us laughing at Ron Burgundy instead of with him. Same with other Will Ferrel vehicles.

Honestly, who the f*ck wants Ferrell to branch out into drama? I'd rather have him do what he is best at rather than try to prove he can do other things.

Me for one. It shows her has some versatility to him, unlike Owen Wilson, Ben Stiller or others. Honestly, who'd remember Woody Allen if he'd stick to doing stand up's?

Jon Heder is NOT part of the frat pack.

He deserves to be shot by a firing squad.

what does the term Frat pack mean?

I think it comes from those associated with the Old School thong.

it means lets not give any other commedians a chance to make a movie

The frat pack is an associated group of writers, actors and directors that all give each other a hand and do each other favours. So you have Ben Stiller appearing in Anchorman, Will Ferrel appearing in Starsky and Hutch etc etc etc

They have some good films (if you take them for what they are) and some bad films.

And thank you Snake eyes for the painfully obvious fact that you nitpicked at.

but to the majority of movie going types in the UK it appears thats all there is

almost every comedy we get has one of the above mentioned
seems like jobs for the boys
