I'd agree that it depenRAB what type of mood you are in. Nil By Mouth is a cracking film but not for the faint heated.
Anchorman is one of the many modern brat pack comedies that keep coming out. Really you could watch any number of them just to past 1 1/2 hours and have a few chuckles.
I really did expect to watch it and laugh loaRAB but imo it just wasn't up to the same standard as the other modern brat pack movies (as degsyhufc calls them!).
I don't think it's in the same league as Superbad, Knocked Up etc. But then I didn't really like Talladega Nights either.
I would agree. It's not what you would call upliftiing viewing, but it is incredibly well acted and very powerful.
I just don't get Will Ferrell. Not seen him in anything that has made me laugh. I have seen Anchorman, and lasted about 30 mins. Managed to get through the whole of Talladega Nights, but never laughed once. Land Of The Lost, well made and some very good sequences, but just not funny.
