    An absolute comic genius!

    I became a Will Ferrell fan when he joined the cast of Saturday Night Live. I loved his sketches, from Celebrity Jeopardy to the Spartans, to his Bush inpersonation. He is great.


    Will Ferrell has the ability to make the most mundane things funny. With just a smirk or a look in his eye, he can be hilarious.


    I was very happy when Will Ferrell was able to become a successful movie actor. Although many of his movies are stupid, or have stupid endings, there isno way that you can watch them without laughing. His movies are almost always guaranteed to make you laugh.


    My favorite Will Ferrell movies are Step Brothers, Megamind, Anchorman, Elf, The Other Guys and Zoolander. I always look forward to a Will Ferrell movie, though I won't lie, a few of them were not good at all. Still, no one is perfect and I admire this man. He is very talented and I enjoy his work.

    Not that funny. hide show

    I will admit that he was funny on Saturday Night Live. But his solo career has been rather predictable and unfunny. I can't say that I have liked any of his movies as I thought they were all boring and uninteresting. Getting back to his career on SNL, he was really good. I guess that he was one of the best when he was on the show. To be honest, I think he needs to try a drama movie, jut to show his range as an actor. He has never been in a serious movie and I am curious how good an actor he is. Thank you.

    I love this guy. The craziest comedian actor ever. hide show

    Will Ferrell is my absolute favorite comedian actor. All love every single one of his movies I saw. He was histerical in Talladega Nights, Blades of Glory, and oh the crazy Old School. I've never seen a crazier man. I loved in Talladega Nights where he thought he was on fire and took off his clothes and ran around in his tighty whities yelling for Oprah. And I loved the end when they ran to the finish line too. In Old School it was high -larious when they jumped out the car and grabbed that fat guy and Will Ferrell yelled not to tell any one or he would kill them. Will Ferrell is amazingly funny

    To be honest, I'm not really sure what to think of this guy. hide show

    Read the summary, it really says it all. But I'll go into detail just for you, because you were one of the select few that chose to read this, as many people just write reviews to level up, and not for public enrichment. That's what I do anyway. On to the review: He is talented, that is relevant. I used to see him as this friendly guy that made you laugh in a friendly non-perverted way, but as I grew older, I also became wiser. When I watched Blades of Glory, I was shocked to see him play a character that was a ver animated sex addict. And it kind of looks like he's going to be somewhat of a perv in this Jackie Moon movie coming to theaters, but most definetly not as bad as he was in Blades of Glory, if that's even possible. I guess nothing's wrong with being a perv, he's really good at it. So if that's his talent, then he should go with it.

    This guy is crazy! But in a good way. hide show

    Will Ferrel is a very talented and funny actor. Not the best of the funniest, but I enjoy most movies he is in. Will is original. He is always acting the part of a crazy or dumb person, but that what I like about him. I have seen him in Kicking & Screaming, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, Elf and some others. I liked Elf a lot. It is one of my favorite movies. I didn't like Anchorman too much. I thought it was boring, but the only reason I watched it was because of Will Ferrell. I will continue to watch Will Ferell movies.
