First I must state that I am NO fan of Will Ferrell. Outside of his SNL
days of doing a dead-on spoof of Bush, Ferrell hasn't made a movie that
I wanted to see. After reading these reviews I was even more set on
avoiding it. However, I decided to suffer thru it for my sis's
birthday. To my surprise, we laughed quite a lot at the sweet goofiness
of this movie. I agree that they could have cut out the useless mature
sights and words that left the kids out because it would have appealed
to them. We particularly loved the scenes between Farrell and the
obviously more intelligent Dino. Danny McBride was sweetly silly too.
The female actress was okay as eye candy for the guys. All the
criticism on this site is for people who place stock on what others
have to say. Happy to say, we avoided these critics. By the way, if you
hated the movie so much, why spend so much of your time to write such
long-winded diatribes??? Seems to me these are people who need to feel
a sense of importance that they don't have. Oh well, the movie goer
should always make up their own minds. We did, and I'm happy to say it
turned out well. We really laughed!! And my sister is not one to laugh
easily. I just wish they wouldn't show so much of the sight gags in the
commercials for the movie. But don't let that keep you away. There's
more context for the funny parts in the movie.
