" I was like, "Emiliooooo."

What Is Love will never be annoying and Chris Kattan deserves a better career in Hollywood.

Another film I have watched a million times and counting. Literally.*
Loses a star for having so much Molly Shannon.
*No, not literally.

Now this was an impressive film. They manage to make a single joke last 90 minutes. That is a skill in itself and should be recognised for what it is, a bad joke stretched for 90 minutes. I am impressed with Will Ferrell that he managed to make a career with this kind of stinker to start of with, and Kattan? Well exactly.
The film is about two wealthy stupid brothers who want to open a nightclub but have no clue about women...and they like Hadaway....thats it.
Then in the end they get a club, cos they meet a really generous business man....I dont know what to say, this film still made money. They must have been starved for entertainment in 1998.

It is becoming more and more difficult to finish my percentage of Will Ferrel movies. This one is by far the worst one yet. I didn't laugh once at any of the jokes presented in the film, and also the sketch that this film is based of off in SNL really isn't even that funny. "What is Love" becomes the most hated song in the world by the end of the film, mainly because they play it probably one thousand times. Speaking of which, this film must have had a gigantic part of its budget carved out for music rights, because every "Oh yeah, I've heard that song" song is in this film, making it essentially an incredibly unfunny music video. Well. Now that this is out of the way, I move on to the really, really bad Will Ferrel movies...

you know those kind of movies that you might have seen it once when it first came out (for me I was probably 12) with all your friends and as the years go by you hear them say these lines and you wonder, "whats that from?" well Roxbury is that movie. i'm 25 now and after all those years I still hear those one-liners from my friends.

A SNL backed comedy staring Will Ferrel. I was very excited to see this feature length laugh a minuet unfound gem. Now. I just wish I left it unfound. It's quick fire 90's comedy seems dated and it's characters like a bad comedy play. Unfortunately it didn't deliver. Something I can just put down to an inexperienced cast. There was some great moments. But it look time for Ferrels comedy to get there and in the right situation it works. This film this build up was not right. It was like they turned up to a slapstick comedy battle but just used dialogue.

Molly Shannon for Queen of the Universe.

Honestly, the only way to enjoy this movie is if you don't take it seriously. It's a dumb movie, and you have to know that going into it to enjoy it. If you're expecting a great movie that is going to blow you away with it's epic story, you're going to be thoroughly disappointed. Literally, it's about two dudes who think they're cool, but they aren't, trying to get into a club. And it's funny.

I don't care what anyone says this movie is like everything. The music and oh my god I did not expect to even remotely like this movie. I mean it's not a movie where you like at the acting, the humour is the main part even though the plot isn't great is was cracking up constantly.

A movie you watch whenever it's on TV when you want a cheap laugh.

Special star just for Haddaway. Sometimes I didn't know if it was funny or really stupid, and really stupid isn't always funny.
-
Pretty good even now.
