‘Anchorman 2′ Trailer Promises Hot Breath In Your Ear, Stankiness, And Witches

Travis Woods — Mon, 21 May 2012 17:04:29 +0000

Anchorman: The Legend Continues (or Anchorman 2, for those of you with short attention spans) dropped a new teaser onto the internet this morning (as if new teases for Skyfall and The Master weren’t enough for one day). A bit of a rush job, there’s no new footage in the Anchorman: The Legend Continues teaser, but it does round up Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd, Steve Carell and David Koechner, and feature series of new one liners: “This time, I’m on top,” “it’s gonna get stanky,” and “in this movie, we play witches!” Check out the ridiculous clip below.

The teaser comes courtesy of Funny or Die!, naturally, features about a minute of mugging from the original cast, with Steve Carell stealing the quick show with his blank-faced awkwardness. Pretty funny stuff for a film that hasn’t even begun filming yet.

Anchorman: The Legend Continues won’t begin filming until later this year, and won’t hit theaters until 2013, but hopefully the teaser will tide us all over before the real footage starts slipping out. For now, dig into the teaser poster for the film, and start counting down the days until 2013.

As we previously reported, the film concerns “when all the news started changing with the 24-hours news cycle in ’78 or ’79, All of a sudden, local news stations diversified and had Latino anchors and African-American anchors, and any time you’re talking about diversity and the Action News team, that’s always fun to deal with,” according to director Adam McKay.

‘Anchorman 2′ Gets A New Poster And A New Title

Travis Woods — Wed, 16 May 2012 13:58:58 +0000

Ever since the March announcement that Anchorman 2 was finally happening, fans have been waiting for any kind of preview of the long-awaited sequel. This week, we get two—teasers for the film have been attached to prints of The Dictator, and today, we have a teaser poster heralding the film, it’s new official title, and a loose release date. Check it out after the jump.

First off, the film is now no longer just Anchorman 2—you can call it Anchorman: The Legend Continues now. Further, while the film had been rumored for a 2014 release, the poster is pretty boldly proclaiming a 2013 release date.

As for the barest sketch of a plot, all we know is what we reported in April, when we noted that Anchorman and Anchorman: The Legend Continues writer-director Adam McKay noted the film would be set “when all the news started changing with the 24-hours news cycle in ’78 or ’79, All of a sudden, local news stations diversified and had Latino anchors and African-American anchors, and any time you’re talking about diversity and the Action News team, that’s always fun to deal with.”

Also, it is known that Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd, Steve Carell and David Koechner would be returning to reprise their roles, with no indication, however, if Christina Applegate would be returning for another round of madness.

Keep checking back for updates, including the Anchorman: The Legend Continues teaser trailer as soon as it’s available.

Will Ferrell And Zach Galifianakis Run For Office And Punch Babies In ‘The Campaign’ Trailer

Travis Woods — Fri, 11 May 2012 16:36:52 +0000

Jay Roach has had something of a dichotomous career as a filmmaker—early on, the director made a name for himself directing such comedies as the Austin Powers franchise, as well as the first two films in the Meet the Parents series, before course-correcting and becoming HBO’s main man when it comes to political films about presidential elections (2008’s Recount, this year’s Game Change). So, it makes a kind of sense that Roach would eventually combine his two styles, as The Campaign features Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis humorously battling it out over a North Carolina Congressional seat.

While the trailer does feature a handful of too-broad moments (hey, this is a movie by the guy who made Meet the Fockers and Goldmember, and starring the lead from Land of the Lost, remember?) including Will Ferrell taking a swing at Zach Galifianakis during a rally and accidentally punching a newborn in the face, and Galifianakis shooting Ferrell in the leg with an arrow, it also has moments of sharp comedy.

It will be interesting to see if Roach will be able to balance the two stylistic drives of his career into a tolerable whole, or if the film will just be an uneven mess. Check out the trailer and cast your vote:

Adam McKay Talks ‘Anchorman 2′ Plot Details

Damon Houx — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 18:53:12 +0000

With the news that Anchorman was finally getting the sequel its creators had tried to make (for years now), you’d figure they’d have their ideas and plans on lockdown. There was talk of testing it as a stage show, and all sorts of interesting rumors about the directions it could head, but writer/director Adam McKay has talked about their progress so far. He tells Empire “We’ve done about two per cent! Half a per cent? We’ve got five pages of story notes and chunks of story. We’re holing up writing for the next three months.”‘ He does hint at their direction…

And that would be towards the emergence of CNN. McKay said this:

“It’s right when all the news started changing with the 24-hours news cycle in ’78 or ’79, All of a sudden, local news stations diversified and had Latino anchors and African-American anchors, and any time you’re talking about diversity and the Action News team, that’s always fun to deal with.”

We do know that Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd, Steve Carell and David Koechner are back for more, though it’s unknown if Christina Applegate will return in any capacity. That was being talked about last we heard, though there was nothing definitive.

What makes this project so exciting is that when a film like Star Trek gets a sequel, it’s because it made enough money to generate a follow up, but – ultimately – you could tell that J.J. Abrams was more interested in making a film like Super 8 than going back to that well. Here everyone involved has spoken about wanting to do this project, which is better than people coming back because of contractual obligation. Or – in the case of a sequel like Men in Black III – where you get the sense people are returning to the well because they need a career boost.

Which is why it’s so much fun to hear about. At worst, Anchorman 2 will be funny. But it won’t and can’t be desperate or passionless.

Will Ferrell Announces ‘Anchorman 2′ On ‘Conan’

Travis Woods — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 15:30:40 +0000

Cult comedy fans have something to rejoice about this morning—after years of Paramount Pictures stating it simply wouldn’t happen due to the low cost effectiveness of comedy sequels, Will Ferrell appeared on Conan on Wednesday night in character as Ron Burgandy. Why? To play a few flute solos, suggest host Conan O’Brien undergo plastic surgery after declaring him hideous, and then to announce that a little movie called Anchorman 2 is finally happening. Check out the video after the jump.

Paramount Pictures (the owners of the Anchorman property) had previously refused to green light an Anchorman sequel, due mostly to the fact that the making a comedy sequel is “almost impossible” because “they only work with big hits, which ‘drive everyone’s price up’ and make the film a huge financial risk.” Further, the $100 million price tag attached to the monumentally massive failure that was Will Ferrell’s Land of the Lost reboot probably didn’t instill Paramount with the necessary confidence.

However, the fact that we live in a post-Hangover 2 world in which comedy sequels can do massive business, and, accordingly Paramount has finally given Anchorman 2 the green light. Variety reports that the film with be directed by the same man who helmed the original, Adam McKay, and that Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd, Steve Carell, and David Koechner will all reprise their roles, making this the first (and probably only) time that something good came from the existence of Hangover 2. Stay classy, Paramount.

VOTD: Will Ferrell Mocks The Bulls And Hornets During NBA Game

Travis Woods — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 16:19:56 +0000

Basketball fans watching the Bulls-Hornets game in New Orleans on Wednesday night got something of a surprise—and I’m not talking about the Bulls’ bruising 90-67 win. No, apparently Will Ferrell, who is in New Orleans shooting a movie, was on hand to make a series of announcement before the game, mocking a handful of the players, accusing one of still living with his mother, insisting another speaks not a bit of English, and that one Italian player refuses to eat Italian food. Check it out after the jump.

Ferrell is currently in New Orleans shooting the film Dog Fight with Dylan McDermott and Zach Galifianakis (who both attended the game with Ferrell). And before the 80s Night-themed game at the New Orleans Arena began, Ferrell was asked to perform the introductions for both teams—which he did in typical Will Ferrell style. The comedic actor introduced 6-foot-9, 266-pound Bulls forward Carlos Boozer as a man who “still lives with his mother,” while he insisted that New Orleans guard Marco Belinelli “hates Italian food.”

Afterwards, Boozer said there were no hard feelings, “we’re all Will Ferrell fans – one of the funniest dudes of our generation, man.”

Interview: Will Ferrell for Everything Must Go

Mali Elfman — Thu, 12 May 2011 21:52:08 +0000

This week in theaters Will Ferrell explores his more serious side in director Dan Rush‘s adaptation of Raymond Carver’s short story, Everything Must Go. In the film, Ferrell shows us that he’s capable of an extraordinarily subtle and poignant performance with very few moments of dark humor. This was very much a labor of love for Ferrell who stepped onto the quick 23 day shoot in an attempt to do something new. Find out more about him making the film and his return to comedy with his political satire with Zach Galifianakis…

Will, it seems like a lot of your choices lately between this and “The Office” have been rather dark — is there something behind this?

Will Ferrell: My blue period. Officially. [Laughs] Dianglo is pretend dark and Nick is real life dark.

Were you looking for characters that were a little bit more layered or intense??

Ferrell: No, I mean with “The Office” I just left it up to that writing staff to create whatever they wanted to create and that’s just what they chose. In terms of this film, this whole process probably started about two years ago when I met Dan and read the script. Regardless of whether it was darker or this or that, it was just such a unique project and a new challenge for me, which is something I really wanted to try.

How did you and CJ (Christopher Jordan Wallace) develop your relationship?

Ferrell: I think that’s a credit to how good CJ is because we didn’t have a lot of time together before we started filming, we didn’t have that luxury. We rehearsed a little bit but it’s kind of what we saw in auditioning Christopher, it seemed like he was already so grounded and mature in a way that would help us. Because a lot of the scenes that we have in the film were maybe, 3, 4, 5 takes at the most. We didn’t have the luxury of time or film stock and we had all these forces going against us. We just had to make sure that we had someone that could just start at level 10 on take one and he could do that.

Did having a small set help in bonding?

Ferrell: Yeah, Between takes we would just have to sit out in front of this house, while they re-arranged the set for a different part of the movie. And that was where we spent the most time getting to know one another.

How would you describe, the never quite defined relationship between Rebecca Hall’s character and yours?

Ferrell: That was another thing that I loved about this script. Here was this relationship that normally, in a typical Hollywood movie they would fall in love and it feels like it’s maybe getting to that edge, but in a very real way, it never really crosses that line. It’s almost symbolic of that dance at the end of the film. It really is a dance of them consoling each other, helping each other, being critical of each other too, and yet they don’t cross that line of intimacy, yet there is something intimate going on between them. I just though that was masterfully done on a script level and we tried to just be true to that.

This film deals a lot with alcoholism, what were some of the challenges of realistically showing the disease and playing it for comedy but as part of a character?

Ferrell: I’m getting asked the question were their moment that you attempted to make “funny”? I don’t think you can sit down and begin to read a piece of material like this and start ear-marking it like “ah! This would be funny. I should bark on myself here. I know how to spice that up.” It’s evident from the beginning what the tone’s going to be and that’s where you put your mind and you think of it as a serious piece. And when talking about playing the “drink” we were very cognizant of avoiding any false moments. We wanted to comedy to just happen organically and never feel forced or pushed.

Do you have any items that you cannot let go of?

Ferrell: [Jokingly] My speedboat. I had a beer bottle collection, but I got rid of it.

What’s the hardest part in getting this film made? Getting it going, making it or promoting?

Ferrell: All of it! Check, check, check!

What’s next for you?

Ferrell: Next, I’m doing to shoot in the fall, a film with Zach Galifianakis, where we play rival Southern politicians in a small congressional district in South Carolina. That we’ll release for the election season next year, which kind of comments on the circus that is now, modern day politics.

Anchorman 2?

Ferrell: You really have to assert some sort of e-mail hate campaign to Paramount Pictures because they have told us “they have run the numbers, and it’s not a good fit.”

Was it ever intended to really be a musical?

Ferrell: Yeah that was our idea. We were going to actually do it in reverse, almost like a Marx Brothers, we were going to do a Broadway musical and then have the film come out after the stage show. Everyone that we tell the idea loves it, except for the studio, which owns the rights. So balls in their court, but they’re being idiots.

What we can agree on! Though I was surprised to hear him say anything that like, it’s refreshing to see Ferrell take such a risk with this film, the way that he speaks out and continue to keep fighting for films, big or small, that he believes in.

Who’s ready to start the Anchorman 2 campaign?

The Office: Season 7 Episode 22: The Inner Circle – TV Review

Joseph Oliveto — Fri, 06 May 2011 03:17:24 +0000

Can “The Office” survive without Steve Carell? That’s been the question on everyone’s mind, from fans of the show to the execs who have a vested economic interest in its success. Well, while we can’t pretend that last night’s episode was extraordinary, we can say that from what we’ve seen, there might just be some life left in this series. Take a glance at our review to see how we felt…

The Players:

Director: Matt Sohn
Writer: Charlie Grandy
Cast: John Krasinski, Will Ferrell, Jenna Fischer, Ed Helms, Mindy Kaling, Ellie Kemper, Craig Robinson

Episode Title: “The Inner Circle”

With Michael out of the picture, Deangelo takes control of the office. At first, he appears to be an ideal boss, treating his employees to perks that were unheard of in the days of Michael Scott. However, it quickly becomes clear that not only is Denagelo dangerously incompetent, he is also something of a sexist. Torn between loyalty to his principles and the desire to remain employed, Jim finds himself in a difficult situation.

The Good:

Will Ferrell: When does Will Ferrell not deliver the comedy goods? While his style is anything but subtle, he’s always willing to make a fool out of himself for the laughs, and it is hard not to respect a performer who won’t let ego get in the way of entertainment. Sure, this week’s episode of “The Office” wasn’t his grand opus, but whether he’s juggling with invisible equipment or simply scaring Jim out of his office with little more than a disapproving glare, he’s bringing the funny. He’s not Steve Carell, but the creative team behind this series knows–for now, at least–that to try to find someone to play that same role would be futile.
Mindy Kaling: Speaking of performers who are willing to go all out for the sake of the comedy, well, Mindy Kaling has been a consistent force of nature on this show. In front of the camera, she is willing to portray a character who is about as likeable as the girls on “My Super Sweet 16.” Behind it, she is a fantastic writer who has played a major role in some of the show’s best episodes. She isn’t given too much to do this episode, but when she responds to Ryan’s assertion that he would die for her with a heartfelt “Really?”, it’s difficult to not give her credit.

The So-So:

Ending: Upon injuring himself while attempting a less-than-impressive basketball stunt, Deangelo returns to the office a little worse for wear. This may be the one moment in the episode when Will Ferrell strays a little too far into the absurd realm he’s often most comfortable in, taking the performance in an over-the-top direction that isn’t in keeping with the overall tone of the show. It’s kind of funny, but hard to find believable.
Jim: Jim, as we know, always has his heart in the right place, but c’mon, let’s be real here: having your heart in the right place often makes you boring. He’s rarely been the comedic powerhouse of the show, but that is especially evident in this episode, when he’s put in a tough spot and doesn’t do too much to keep us entertained. With a limited amount of time to make an audience laugh, the writers should avoid wasting moments on subplots that don’t add much in the way of humor.
New girl in town: In an effort to prove that he is no sexist, Deangelo hires a pretty young woman to take on a major role in the office. Now, we understand that the point of her character is to be boring and useless, but that doesn’t make up for the fact that it is rarely engaging to watch someone who is boring and useless. Seems like there was a missed opportunity for some comedy here.

Overall:

Did it blow our mind and makes us want to rush to sleep so we could fast forward to the time tomorrow when we can discuss the episode at the water cooler? Nah, not quite. But for a half hour’s worth of entertainment, it was still decent fun, and given that this is the first episode with Steve Carell nowhere in sight, we’re relieved to say that the show can still deliver the goods without him. There’s a lot of talent in this cast and crew, and everyone deserves a chance to shine.

The Office: Season 7 Episode 21: Goodbye, Michael – TV Review

Joseph Oliveto — Fri, 29 Apr 2011 03:41:28 +0000

Well, it’s all been building up to this. With word that Steve Carell’s tenure on “The Office” was up, fans have been sadly counting down the days until his departure. This week brought us the last Michael Scott episode ever, and seeing as he’s always been the show’s central character, it goes without saying that it was a big night. But did the episode live up to our expectations? Read the review to find out…

The Players:

Director: Paul Feig
Writer: Greg Daniels
Cast: Steve Carell, Will Ferrell, John Krasinski, Ed Helms, Jenna Fischer

Episode Title: “Goodbye, Michael”

The seventh season of “The Office” comes to its climax this week as Michael Scott finally leaves for good. However, he opts not to reveal the full truth to his employees, telling them he still has one more day left when he is indeed heading out forever at 4 PM. In the meantime, Gabe does his best to earn back Erin’s affections, and Andy is exposed to Deangelo’s “unconventional” sales techniques.

The Good:

Will Ferrell: As per usual, Will Ferrell brings the comedy to anything he touches. While he tones down his traditionally zany qualities, he still stands out as the most absurd character in the crowd–which is saying a lot, when you consider the kinds of characters that have been on this show. Who else could yell at a cake? Will Ferrell pulls it off.
Toby’s cousin: Toby mentions that he has a cousin, Rory, in Boulder. Fortunately, we get to catch a glimpse of said cousin, and he is exactly the kind of person Toby would be related to. “Does Michael like jam? Because my apartment is overflowing with preserves.”
Addressing the camera: It is easy to forget that “The Office” is meant to be a faux-documentary, since each episode breaks all of the rules that would make that possible. Still, given the fact that Michael was leaving this week, it was a little bittersweet to be reminded of the beginings of the series, when the documentary format was alluded to more directly. When Michael finally takes off that microphone, it definitely becomes real.
Gabe: As the by-the-books new guy, Gabe is rarely given the opportunity to be as outlandish as the other characters. However, this week, we get to see a side of him we’re not used to, a side unleashed by his recent heartbreak. Thankfully, it works. When he warns Andy that he owns more than two hundred horror films, it definitely scores a laugh.

The So-So:

Emotional Effects: As the final appearance of the iconic Michael Scott, we expected this episode to be a little more effective on an emotional level. While it doesn’t exactly leave us cold, it doesn’t succeed in eliciting the kind of reaction that it was clearly aiming for. Overall, we were underwhelmed.
Low on Laughs: Once again, given the importance of this week’s episode, we expected everyone involved to bring their A-game, but the writing was fairly stale and the laughs weren’t as strong as we would have liked. Granted, it’s tough to balance genuine emotion with humor, but that’s something that “The Office” has usually been pretty good at. There were some jokes that worked, but none that were particularly memorable.

The Bad:

Checklist: Michael makes it a point to say goodbye to everyone one last time, and while that allows him to spend time with each character, it didn’t give him an opportunity to have too many strong emotional (or humorous, for that matter) moments with anyone. Aside from an impromptu paintball game with Dwight and a nice talk with Jim, his interactions with everyone else felt rushed.

Overall:

We’re sad to say it, but we were fairly disappointed with this episode. What was meant to be an instant classic ended up being fairly boring and uninteresting. Sure, it wasn’t terrible, but for an event like this, we should have the strongest episode of the season. Instead, we got something nearly forgettable.

Rating: 6/10

The Office: Season 7 Episode 19: Training Day – TV Review

Joseph Oliveto — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 13:06:30 +0000

“The Office” welcomes one of the biggest guest stars it has ever had this week to distract us from the fact that one of the key ingredients in the success of the show–Steve Carell–won’t be sticking around much longer. Well, for what it’s worth, the distraction succeeded. As it turns out, Will Ferrell is pretty funny. Who would have guessed?

The Players:

Director: Paul Lieberstein
Writer: Daniel Chun
Cast: Steve Carell, Will Ferrell, Ed Helms, John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer

Episode Title: “Training Day”

Michael initially welcomes his replacement, Deangelo Vickers, with open arms, but begins to feel some animosity towards the man when others in the office express their admiration for him and when Vickers’s managerial style conflicts with Michael’s. Andy struggles to amuse his new boss, Jim and Pam worry that they’ve started off on the wrong foot with him, and Dwight makes it very clear that he would have preferred to take over the position.

The Good:

Will Ferrell: As is to be expected, Will Ferrell delivers the laughs as the new boss in town. While credit must be given to the writer–lines like “everyone I know who has ever gone skiing is dead” are just absurd enough to work–Ferrell’s deadpan delivery is pitch-perfect. Known for going over-the-top in ways that would make Jack Nicholson look subtle, it is fun to be reminded that Will Ferrell can be as hilarious playing a role with a straight face as he is when he’s in full-on Ricky Bobby mode.
Keeping it funny: With Michael soon to leave the show, you could be forgiven for fearing that the series would begin to take on a more reflective (aka “less entertaining”) tone during his final episodes. Fortunately, everyone involved seems to know that we primarily go to “The Office” for laughs, and that is what we got this week. We”l save our tears for “Grey’s Anatomy” or something like that.
Darryl: Darryl tends to be such a confident character that it was funny to see him eager to impress Vickers, behaving like a nervous middle-school student who isn’t sure if he sounded like a nerd in front of his crush. “That’s one of my favorite regions; I sounded so lame, didn’t I?”
Andy: If Darryl was making some poor attempts to impress his boss, Andy was going for broke. It turns out that Vickers is a fan of the same kind of comedy that babies find clever: people being physically hurt. Andy takes full advantage of this, going so far as to spill hot coffee on his own crotch. It shouldn’t be funny, but given the context, it worked a lot more than we would expect.

The So-So:

Kevin’s wig: One of the running gags throughout the episode was the fact that Kevin was sporting a wig. While the writer did manage to pull one good line out of the situation (“Is that Ashton Kutcher? No, it’s Kevin. Equally handsome, equally smart”) it more or less seemed like a wasted joke, as it didn’t exactly develop into anything funnier as the episode progressed.
Dwight: We all knew that Dwight would be disappointed with the fact that he wasn’t awarded the job of Office Manager, but predcitability isn’t such a terrible thing if the writer can find a funny way to approach the situation. Sadly, such was not the case this episode. With Dwight involved, we expected there to be a little more humor going on in this subplot.

The Bad:

Jim and Pam: Like everyone else, they do their best to get along with Vickers, but he isn’t all that interested in hearing about their baby. Which should be a reasonably funny scenario, but just doesn’t seem to work all that well here. It feels as if someone began to tell a potentially funny joke, but paused right before getting to the punchline. (Although Vickers’s final line of the episode in regards to the baby was pretty good, we’ll admit.)

Overall:

We were all looking forward to seeing what Will Ferrell could bring to this already entertaining show, and he definitely delivered. He was easily the best element of last night’s episode, and it is a shame to think that he probably won’t be a permnanent cast member. Either way, this was vintage “The Office,” packed with enough laughs-per-minute to qualify it as one of the funniest sitcoms on TV.

Rating: 8.5/10

Will Ferrell in Casa de mi Padre Trailer

Damon Houx — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 22:26:17 +0000

Will Ferrell has talked about being in an all-Spanish Language film, but it was hard to know if he was doing a favor, or what exactly it would be. With the trailer for Casa de mi Padre (in English, “House of My Father”), it’s entirely a Will Ferrell movie. Also starring Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna, it appears to be a take on the florid styles of Spanish soap operas, but done as a comedy. Take a look at the trailer…

This looks bananas. In many ways it reminds of what Danny McBride and company did with Your Highness, but played more for laughs. It’s produced by Will Ferrell’s company, and is directed by Matt Piedmont, who’s mostly done television work previous, and wrote for Ferrell during his time on “Saturday Night Live.”

This doesn’t appear to have a big studio attached at the moment, and that may have to do with the majority of the film being in Spanish. It would likely be just as funny if the film was dubbed by the actors back into English, but that joke may be too weird for those who just want to see Ferrell act silly. And – sadly – the Spanish language may be a barrier for some to enjoy what looks to be delicious absurdity.Regardless, we’ll be following this film.

Does this trailer make you laugh?

Beastie Boys Fight For Your Right – Revisited Trailer Brings Out the A-Listers

Damon Houx — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 22:13:16 +0000

There’s something to be said that only the Beastie Boys could bring out Danny McBride, Seth Rogen, Elijah Wood, Jack Black, Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly, Ted Danson, Stanley Tucci, Susan Sarandon and many more famous people for what appears to be a very funny goof on the history of the Band. McBride, Wood and Rogen play younger versions of the band, with Reilly, Ferrell and Black the older iterations. How this all works out is unknown, but the trailer is here for Fight For Your Right – Revisited, and it is great. Check it out…

This is a short film written and directed by Beastie Boy Adam Yauch. It will come with their latest album Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 2, which hits stores and iTunes on 5/3. The premise is that it’s a sequel (as has been reported) to the Beastie Boys breakout video “Fight For Your Right to Party.”

With all the celebrities and cameos this could descend into navel-gazing nonsense if it goes too long or attempts too much, but with the sheer comedic talent involved, the likelihood of that is smaller than average.This trailer has everything, including Ferrell hitting a cowbell. It looks like inspired lunacy. Even if the B-Boys are middle-aged rappers in a genre of music that has yet to see many elder statesmen, the album should be worth getting for this.

Because you can’t, you won’t and you don’t stop, do you think The Beastie Boys came with the sure shot?
