    I'm not a fan of Will Ferrell. I won't be watching this movie.

    Agreed, he is brilliant!

    Frank the Tank, Mugatu, he's always funny.

    Just out of curiosity, why?

    I can't say I'm a huge fan, but he's pretty funny...

    BTW, I probably won't be going to see this movie...

    I think Will is hilarious. I will see this movie, because I'm a fan of his. The thing I think is so great about him, is his commitment to what he's doing. He's in it 100% all the time. He would be in bad sketches on SNL, but he would always be 100% committed to his character. That impressed me, and I think it adds to his humor.

    One word: Cowbell.

    Or is that two words?

    Either way, I need more cowbell.

    Will Ferrell is absolutely hilarious. I can't wait for this movie to come out. I can't believe some of you guys don't like him.

    I would never trust someone who doesn't like Will Ferrell. :)

    The Anchorman preview that makes it look serious may be the funniest thing I've ever seen.

    "WHY ARE WE YELLING??"

    I think Steve Carrell's gonna steal the movie.

    I just find him largely obnoxious. I don't really like the characters he plays, and I don't like the way he plays them. I don't really like his acting style at all. I was the same way about Chris Farley.

    I'm not saying he is (or Farley was) not funny - I'm just saying I'm not a fan. If a bunch of my friends are sitting around watching any of their movies, I'll sit and watch and even laugh too, but I would not actively seek out their movies to watch.

    I like Ferrel just fine, and I really wanted to be excited about this movie, but the previews make it look really stupid and bad. I'll probably end up seeing it anyway, but God, it looks dumb.

    Knights of Columbus that hurts!

    The great thing about Ferrell is that so much of his material seems to be ad-libbed. If he wasn't such a great comedian/actor he would probably be a fantastic writer as well.

    If anything, he can be accused of overacting, but he does it in such a way where he doesn't come across as stealing the camera, like a lot of SNL characters seemed to (Chris Kataan, Molly Shannon). Maybe he doesn't always play believable characters, but he plays them so well we almost envision them as real at times.

    The public service announcement looks completely ad-libbed.

    He is the funniest man alive. Who could forget the BOC skit or my personal fave, the one with Garth Brooks trying to sell his soul to Satan.
    -Zorgas, Forgas,
    -I just got bit by the love bat....
    -And it's driving me mad!

    His Harry Carey was hilarious and I always loved the Roxbury skits. The Unabomber was also great.

    I tried to watch the public service announcement to give the movie a shot and hope that my opinion was wrong about this, but I couldn't even finish it! I'm sorry, but hell no - I couldn't even last 60 seconds, let alone more than an hour of that.
