    I think Will Ferrell is an amazing actor but he gets these roles which are horrible and he has to overact to make the movie watchable. The only "Will Ferrell" movie I loved is old school. The only other movie where he wasn't type casted was stranger than fiction which was an amazing movie!

    Dmb and Dumber. Had a bad day? Put this on, and by the time the dog car goes flying over the hill, you should be doing much better.

    And most Will Farrell movies, especially Old School and Step Brothers. And the best Will Farrell movie where he's not being Will Farrell is The Other Guys. Awesome!
