Movies that I have wanted to like

I will admit that I am a pretty big fan of Will Ferrell. He is, without a doubt, a very funny guy. Both in terms of what he says, but maybe more so for his physical style of humor. He is even funny when he isn't really in a scene (see the 2d installment of Austin Powers during the attack near the cliff). That said, I recently took two of my boys to see Land of the Lost. I wanted to like it, I really did, but found myself disappointed. It had funny man Danny McBride (who is an absolute crack up--see Pineapple Express), the beautiful Anna Friel and of course, Will. But it was one of those movies where the funniest scenes were the ones from the trailer. There were a couple of parts that make you laugh out loud, but frankly, just not enough of them. I would give it a 6.25 out of 10. For a really funny WF movie, just rent Old School, Zoolander or Anchorman. Will is at his best when he gets to ham it up without going over the top. The role from Zoolander plays into that perfectly.
