I've been looking forward to this since I first heard about it. I'm not that big of a fan of Will Ferrell either. He did a good Bush on SNL, but most of his movies have sucked ass, he tends to over-act a lot. He does that a little in Anchorman, but in this he's supposed to be over the top, so basically, this is the perfect role for him. While Ferrell is the main star, he doesn't get nearly most of the jokes. Christina Applegate, Fred Willard, Chris Parnell, Paul Rudd, David Koechner, and last but never least, Steve Carell get their fair share of the jokes. Plot wise, it's kinda weak, but there's several scenes that make this movie worthy enough to pay $8.50 for. A great battle scene with cameos, and this other scene with animals. I hadn't laughed this much at the movies in a long time. BTW, that's German for "Whale Vagina".
