  Nowhere as good as Talledega Nights!
  
  My favourite Farrell flick is undoubtedly 'Talledega Night' followed by 'Blades of Glory'. This film is by far the worst of Farrell. Not very ... read more »

  Some funny moments...
  
  Some very good moments, fun and dumb with real 1970's fashion disco edge.
  
  Pretty much by the book zany antics, some fall a bit flat, but some are... read more »

  A Waste Of Talent.
  
  A very poor and unfunny 'Comedy' that has a smattering of funny moments but is so reliant on shouting and swearing in place of genuine comedy that it ... read more »

  Yeah I suppose
  
  Not the best Will Ferrell film ever but a good watch overall. Some funny bits but really just a light hearted, easy watch.

  Poor show
  
  We love Will Ferrell but this film is very poor, in fact we turned it off before the end. Extremely disappointing.
