My favorites...old school,night at the roxbury,elf
meh...talladega,anchorman,other guys
worst: semi pro, bewitched, that movie where he sits on the lawn.

id take a steve carrell movie over will anyday
Im the exact opposite. I find Steve Carrell to be extremely repetitive in all his roles with NO difference from one character to the next. Ferrell does have some of the same mannerisms in his characters, but they are always different in some way.

Best: Old School, Stranger than Fiction

worst: almost everything else. Not a huge fan of his, definitely agree with some other people that he can be too much as a lead role.

Best: Anchorman

Other Favorites: Talladega Nights, Step Brothers, Old School

Worst: Stranger than Fiction


Stranger than Fiction was GREAT! Land of the Lost was HORRIBLE. I'd dare even say his worst.

As stated above, I may need to revisit Stranger than Fiction.

I thought step brothers was a piece of shit. I saw it in theaters with some friends and we wondered afterwards why we didn't walk out.

Movies like Anchorman and Step Brothers were just a little too over the top for me.

Best: Old School, Anchorman, of course his small role in Wedding Crashers.

Worst: Land of the Lost...never saw Bewitched, but it probably sucks.

Best: Step Brothers, Elf, and Anchorman. Loved Stranger Than Fiction as well. Very different role for him but I thought it was well done. And as previously stated, his cameo in Wedding Crashers was both hilarious and memorable.

Worst: Has to be Land of the Lost or Bewitched.

Talladega Nights was so-so for me. Made me laugh quite a bit, but I still wouldn't put it as his best.

Best: Stepbrothers, Old School, Anchorman, Elf, Wedding Crashers (hilarious cameo....Ma! Meatloaf!)

Worst: Bewitched (what were they thinking?), Stranger than Fiction (couldn't get into it, hated Maggie G's character), Land of the Lost (although Danny McBride was great)

Forgot:

Best: Blades of Glory (better than expected)

Worst: Semi-Pro (a waste of 90 minutes, maybe two and a half laughs)

I thought Blads of Glory was alright but I'm not a big Jon Heder fan.
