C'mon you guys, 5.5? IT should AT LEAST be in the 7 area.

Exactly, this is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen -- Instant classic!

[–] joseav10 16 years ago

yes, it is too low, just because of the soundtrack the movie has to have a point more.

Well, since you asked...

It is probably ranked so low because it is a terrible movie. I can't believe this has a 5.5. The plot is about as flimsy as anything I've ever seen, the jokes aren't funny, and Chris Kattan is a truly terrible actor. Will Ferrell is talented, but even he can't save this film from crashing and burning. This is down there with White Chicks and The Hot Chick as one of the worst comedies ever produced. Absolutely abysmal...1/10

Could you be a little bit more scathing in your review? LOL. I personally have seen only a few scenes of it but from what I saw, it looks rather pathetic.

haha yeah the rating is way to low!! I mean I understand that ANATR isn't going to be considered a really well made movie, but it was definitely worth watching!!! a 7 at least... not to mention what is cooler than the boombox scene near the end of the film where Ferrel is about to marry that creepy girl!? haha love it.

Honestly, the movie is not that funny. It sort of grows on you the more you watch it and the entire premise (bobbing their heads to "what is love") is extremely funny, but that skit-based concept can't carry a full length movie.

The problem with it is there are very little actual 'jokes' with a punch line and you being able to laugh outloud. it's just a series of awkward circumstances that occur one after the other. This is typical of will ferrell movies, but there's usually pleanty of actual jokes between them.

Not saying I hate it, but yeah, doesn't deserve anything above a 5.5 The movie is more fun to talk about and quote than actually watching it.

If you love Jesus Christ and are 100% proud of it copy this and make your signature!

I think it's probably the worst movie I've ever seen, and I've seen Camp Rock and A Walk To Remember, so that's saying someething.

it's great little 5 min on SNL, but not enough to make it into a 60min movie

[–] rdsla 14 years ago

On the contrary.....I think they did a great job of writing a story that carried the whole movie....and the jokes along the way are hilarious.

Because some people don't have a sense of humor.

I stand by this movie as being one of the best comedies I have ever seen to this day and no one will convince me otherwise.
