Will Ferrell is one of my favorite comedians and I think this is his best movie. He is really, really funny in this film. A lot of randomness to his character. This is the kind of movie to keep you smiling throughout, if you like the silly, random and sometimed odd kind of comedies. Some things to look out for as a parent is the langauge. It has the f-word (Used once, sexually) and other words like (g-----n, s--t, d--k). Some strong sexual content at times, it even pushes the boundaries of a PG-13 rating like CSM said. The violence is mainly played for laughs, but some may not find funny like a characters arms getting cut off (Again, played for laughs). My main advice to parents is to just watch it first, then decide. That's the best thing to do with a movie like this. But it is still one of the funniest movies of the 2000's.
