Farrell was a genius on SNL back in the day and he was great in Old School, but Anchorman is his best by far. I saw Talladega Nights recently and it sucked. I didn't even bother with Blades of Glory because I cannot stand the Napolean Dynamite kid-now he's a piece of **** comedian. I would like to see Farrell return to Anchorman glory. Anyone who doesn't find that movie funny has something seriously wrong with them.
The problem I see with Will Farrell is that he's not an actor. Yes, he was good on SNL but SNL is more for comedians.
Anchorman, was funny in parts but way, way, way too overhyped. Adam Sandler's movies up until
Little Nicky were all funnier than anything I've ever seen from Farrell Although I am planning on watching
Talladega Nights tonight.
I think the biggest problem with Will Farrell is that he is far too hyped. His movies may seriously be the least funny of anyone from SNL.
I laugh more at this guy's movies than Will Farrell's:
Seiously, which SNL alums movies are worse than Will Farrell's movies?
Bill Murray(Ghostbusters, Stripes, Caddyshack)
Dan Akroyd(Ghostbusters, Blues Brothers, Trading Places)
John Belushi(Blues Brothers, Animal House)
Chevy Chase(National Lampoons Vacations, Caddyshack)
Steve Martin(The Jerk, Three Amigos, Little Shop of ****es)
Eddie Murphy(Beverly Hills Cop, 48 hours, Trading Places)
Dana Carvey(Opprotunity Knocks, Wayne's World, Master of Disguise)

David Spade(Tommy Boy, Black Sheep, Joe Dirt, The Benchwarmers)
Jim Breuer(Half Baked)
Phil Hartman(mostly supporting roles)
Norm Macdonald(Dirty Work, Screwed
Adam Sandler(Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, Anger Management)

Chris Kattan(Corky Romano)

The only one I think he's better than are Kattan and Fallon.
