Zoolander 2

I absolutely adored the first "Zoolander" film and I had high hopes for this sequel, but it received such a clubbing by fans and critics I waited until now to see it. The critics were right - this was pretty painful to watch. The whole spirit of the first film was lost, and the plot was needlessly complicated and muddy. When I saw how many writers worked on this I was kind of stunned. This really didn't work for me. 2/5

Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues

I hated this with a fiery passion. It was awful & trite & had none of the original's magic. 1.5/5

The Campaign

I generally don't think I'll like Will Ferrell movies & do, but this was weak all the way through. Not good. 2/5

Everything Must Go

Will Ferrell is surprisingly earnest & sensitive in this rather poignant drama with a good heart. Well done 4/5

Elf

This really is a cute & funny movie and Will Ferrell is his usual wonderful self. @Jon_Favreau did himself proud. 3.5/5
