"I like the way they're talking to you Chip! The only thing you ever did was make a hot daughter! That's It!.....That's It!"

OMG I rolled at that scene, probably the funniest in the movie to me. Otherwise I was a little dissapointed.

It's still funny, but nowhere near Anchorman. Not even the same stratosphere. There are some good lines, like "If you don't chew Big Red, then f you" and such, but it doesn't stay fresh on rewatches like Anchorman.
I agree there were some funny lines, but they belonged in a 30 minutes movie. This was almost un-watchable for me. ...and I love Will Ferrell.

I just rewatched this last night with my wife, who hadn't seen it yet. It wasn't quite as funny the 2nd time. I still laughed pretty hard though. I thought the scenes with Gary Cole were the best. I can't help but picture him as Lumbergh in every movie I see him in.

I barely finished it, was just too long it ceased to be funny long before the end for me.

I thought it dragged a bit in the middle, but Sasha Cohen stole that film in my opinion.

It was enjoyable, and made my laugh some belly laughs.

Not Fillet Mignon good, but pork rinds good!

I think the kids stole the movie - but all in all it fell flat - i wasn't a huge fan of anchorman because I really don't think a couple good lines and funny scenes make a full feature movie

this one was like anchorman, but it just dragged on too much - loved some of the concepts (like how his table was set with all the things from his sponsors and how he plugged poweraide during his grace ....... which for the love of baby jesus went on way too long....................)

however, most of the movie just wasn't memorable
