O John Where Art Thou?

There are many things in this world i don't understand; gas prices, currency, why animals lick their butts instead of wiping it on the grass, and John C. Reilly. This last one actually baffles me the most. This is a guy who is such a talented actor, and has been in so many great movies, and now in the past couple of years, he has apparently decided to just flush his career and credibility as an actor down the toilet. It all started a couple of years ago when he decided to co-star in the mind-numbing talledega nights with the very un-funny and highly obnoxious will "i'm not funny" ferrell. I don't know what happened on that set but something got set into his brain that being un-funny and utterly retarded was the way to take his career. So then he decided that he was going to make the ever so wonderful 'Walk Hard' movie. Don't even get me started on that crap. Easily one of the worst movies of the year. But what sparked this entire outrage in my brain was the new movie Step-brothers. Why is he flushing his career down the toilet like this?! I have decided it's because he was doing character roles in so many good movies he got tired of not being noticed. Apparently being really good and being noticed by people who appreciate fine acting isn't as good as being noticed, and regarded as obnoxious by everybody. I guess we could just ask will ferrell. Not only does this "movie" not look funny and annoying, but it just goes to show once again that will ferrell can get on the screen, act like he is 12, and everybody will continue to think its funny. Not only are all of his movies the same and just packaged differently, but HE IS NOT FUNNY. All his jokes are the same, all his movies are the same, and now he is taking down a great actor with him. One day, i hope we get our beloved talented supporting actor back.

AMEN-- Will Farrell not funny. John Reilly wasting his talent in Will Farrell movies, and the weird movie "Year of the Dog," which he was a good actor in, but the movie was a little creepy.

I was actually considering the creation of an anti-Will Ferrell group, but then I just realized he isn't even worth THAT.

I hate to rain on the hate parade, but I loved Anchorman.

But I can see where everyone is coming from. I think Ferrell needs someone to restrain him. I thought Stranger than Fiction showed he is is at least a somewhat capable actor when working with a good director.

I agree with the Stranger than Fiction comment. I hate Will Ferrell. I don't even care to spell his name right. Good actors are not always recognized appropriately.
