  Classic Ferrell
  
  Comical in parts, in others just boring and predictable, worth a watch especially for ferrell fans, also the younger actors keep everyone laughing too

  Pretty poor
  
  Very sporadically amusing...this kind of thing has been done better a number of times. I guess if you're a die-hard Will Ferrell fan...

  Not your average Will Ferrall movie
  
  This movie is not what the average Will Ferrall fan would expect from him, it's more of a watered down family version of his comedy. If you're looking ... read more »
