I like Steve but...


I don't really understand his appeal. How does a guy who was a Daily Show correspondent make a transition to movies? I mean really how did this guy get noticed? What did they think he had the acting chops based on his comic ability? And now nominated for Foxcatcher? What made Hollywood notice him over say, Stephen Colbert who was basically doing the same thing?

Funny looking yes. Short yes. Comedically funny NO. Never made me laugh once and I've seen a half dozen of his movies.

Do you expect everyone to laugh only at what you find funny?

He was incredible in The Office, both with the quality of his performance and the comedic value he brought to the show.

Steve Carrell in the office I watched for 20 minutes. I want my 20 minutes back. In the 40 year old virgin: Seth Rogan WAS Funny. Evan Almighty was awful basically Steve is annoying and NOT funny enough to make me laugh or even crack a smile.
