The trailer for this one just hit. It was filmed in the Arcadia neighborhood of Phoenix, just down the street from my in-laws.

Again, another movie that I thought would be more of a Comedy but ended up being more of a Drama. Interesting movie and not the typical Will Ferrell role. In fact, Ferrell did a fine job with this role. I wouldn't call this a great movie but it was well done and fits the current economic environment. All in all it was just a nicely told story with pretty good acting.

The other cool thing is that it's all set in Phoenix and you can recognize several landmarks throughout the movie.

I guess this isn't a comedy but am I the only one who doesn't think ferrell is very funny?

In short bursts yes but I've never seen a complete one of his movies where I didn't get sick of him, even AnchorMan and Old School by about the 60 minute mark I was bored with him.

I thought that Step Brothers was pretty damn funny the entire movie. However I agree that AnchorMan and Old School got old fast.

I *want* to see this, I'm just afraid it will hit too close to home & stir up some baaad memories. I heard Will Ferrell did a really good job.
