Anyone who's honest with themselves has to admit that Ferrell hasn't been all that funny for a while. Did you see his one-man George W. Bush show on HBO? Just painful. It was like watching someone shoot fish in a barrel for an hour and change. “Step Brothers?” “Semi Pro?” The dude's been coasting for a while now. And the less said about “The Producers” and “Bewitched,” the better.
“Land of the Lost” is just the latest proof that Ferrell's shtick — the clueless, self-deprecating blowhard man-child — is growing stale. You can put him in a NASCAR jumpsuit, a basketball uniform, or a quantum paleontologist's khakis, but he's pretty much always the same guy. You know that at some point he'll take off his shirt and reveal his flabby belly, or dump dinosaur urine on his head, and then mug at the camera as if to say, Ain't it hilarious? Well, yes it was...the first time.
Never liked him, never will. Hopefully, this means good riddance.
ReplyDeleteI really liked Stranger Than Fiction. I also liked Elf! But that's just me.
ReplyDeleteI think that you know how I would classify those movies, especially Elf.
