I think Will Ferrell has made a lot of funny movies.  However, other than Anchorman, he was a supporting actor in all of them.  He starred in that movie where he was a pee wee soccer coach.  It, of course, was geared toward little kids and therefore sucked to everyone over the age of 12.  And to everyone who saw it just because Will Ferrell was in it: I told you so.  Elf was pretty gay.  Yeah, it was basically a kid's movie too, but that's no excuse.  That Ricky Bobby movie was fucking terrible.  Maybe it's because it was about NASCAR, or maybe it's because every joke went on way too long until it was beaten to death.  Was that movie half ad-libbed?  That's the only reason I can think of for why every character rambled on and on and on until it got to the point where you wanted to jump through the TV and strangle every person talking just to get them to move on to the next weak drawn-out joke.  That's what scripts and editors are for.  So (again, other than Anchorman) I am not really a fan of movies where Will Ferrell is the main guy.  However, people keep flocking to these movies so he's going to keep making them.

John Heder will forever be Napoleon Dynamite.  On one hand, it kind of sucks for him that he's been typecast as the same guy in every movie he's ever done.  On the other hand, being Napoleon Dynamite is probably all he is able to do in movies.  I forget the name of it, but he did voice acting in some CGI kid's movie about a haunted house where he was essentially Napoleon Dynamite.  Then there was some faggy romantic comedy he was in where Reese Witherspoon was a corpse and he was a psychic or something that talked like Napoleon Dynamite. And I don't think he was ever in anything else.  At first, I really liked Napoleon Dynamite (the movie, not the guy).  Then people started incessantly quoting lines from the movie over and over.  It got to the point where I'd instinctively smack anyone that said "gosh!" or "flippin' sweet!" in mouth.  It was a reflex.  I didn't even realize I was doing it.

In this movie, Will Ferrell teams up with Napoleon Dynamite to win an ice skating competition, or something like that.  I know, it's a hilarious premise, I totally get it.  "Two questionably straight guys are doing something two straight guys would never normally do with each other!  They're ice skating together!  Ha ha ha!"  Seems like they went through a little too much trouble for one measly gay joke.  I bet they could have saved a lot of time and money if the movie was just Will Ferrell and Napoleon Dynamite fucking each other in the ass for 90 minutes since it would basically be the same thing.  "Ha ha ha look! It's two questionably straight guys doing something two straight guys would never normally do with each other!  They're fucking each other in the ass!  Ha ha ha!"

I can't imagine there's much more going on in this movie than that.  I'm sure there will be a few funny parts and funny lines here and there, but the huddled masses of movie-going retard are probably going to wet themselves the most when Will Ferrell sticks his thumb in Napoleon Dynamite's ass:

Don't get me wrong.  Gay jokes are funny, just like racist, sexist, ageist, and retard jokes, but here's the thing I like in a comedy movie: many jokes.  I don't think I'll be able to sit through an hour and a half of two grown men in fancy extravagant tights for only one gay joke.  This movie should have been at best a skit on Saturday Night Live.  And not one of the good ones, but one of the shitty sketches thrown on at the end when no one's watching anymore.
