    This is not my favorite genre, but my wife and I had a good time seeing it. Will Ferrell is classic. Two thumbs up from Mr. and Mrs. B-ball freak!

    Saw it today before going to the game, not too bad. Was pretty funny, had its moments, but I was a bit disappointed because I guess i expected alot. Just expect the worse movie you can ever see and it wont be a let down. One of the funniest parts has to be the beginning with the wedding singer, funny stuff there.

    It had it's moments but I think it is somewhat of a waste of a great cast.

    I've seen it twice; it's great. Not Animal House great but up there still.

    :D

    Loved this movie. I really wanted to see this movie because of I'm been a huge Vaughn fan ever since he played T on Swingers but Ferrell stole the show. This movie had me rolling for about 3/4 of it but it seemed like they ran out of jokes towards the end. Great movie anyway.

    Speaking of Ferrell, has anybody else seen his Apple -Switcher ads where he acts as Santa. I don't know if these were on tv during Christmas or what, but I've only seen them on the website.

    Well caught the last showing last night and I thought it was hilarious. Yes it did seem to run out of steam toward the end, but it looked like they just relied on comedic formula to end it. Up until then it was great. Wilson was great as Mitch (aka, the Godfather), Farrell as Frank the Tank had some tremendous moments, Jeremy Piven as the Dean (180 turn from his PCU days), and Vaughn as Bernie (who acted like a married thirty something Trent from Swingers) was as funny as I can remember him ever being. While not getting to the Animal House stature of college movie (it stands alone folks, don't even try), it's funny on it's own.

    I never saw any of the others, but Road Trip and Joe Dirt were classic...

    Come on man, Road Trip was a classic. Dirt was ok and Dude where's my Car was not great but had it's moments not to mention Jennifer Garner. You're right the rest on that list sucks though.

    Greatest low brow comedy's:
    Dumb and Dumber
    American Pie
    Something about Mary
    Kingpin
    Road Trip
    Caddyshack
    Animal House

    Don't forget UHF. Best low-brow comedy, ever.
