Probably the only other Ferrel movie besides Elf that I actually like

I usually cannot stand Will Ferrell pretty much every single movie he has done sucks IMHO....however that being said--I actually enjoyed this one despite the fact that It isn't really original (coach helps out team of losers storyline) it does make me laugh quite a bit. Something that shocked me because Ferrell is one of the least funny(along with Adam Sandler)people in the world IMHO--the only other movie I like him in is Elf.

Not a bad flick. Maybe Ferrell needs to do more films like this that actually have this thing called "a reason to laugh" instead of the crap he does most of the time. Although his obsession with sports movies is out of hand........

Elf was great. Kicking and Screaming was great. He was great in Old School. He was great in Anchorman. He was great in Talledega Nights. He was great in Stranger Than Fiction, and Everything Must Go. And Austin Powers and on and on. I despise his politics but he is a great talent. He even has moments in Blades of Glory. He makes the most of every role. The Other Guys, great.

Just get used to it. He is great. Same with Vince Vaughn. They are both the outstanding superstars of their generation.
