Red, I feel you on not being a big fan of Will Ferrell. I didn't much care for Anchorman when it first came out (as jigga well remembers) but it grew on my over time. But this joint was hilarious. I was literally crying during the cougar scene, and the saying-grace-for-Baby-Jesus riff was priceless. The kids were great, as was John C. Reilly, but to me, the show-stealer was Gary Cole. Yeah, fine, he played it very broad, but you could tell he was having a great time... Sacha Baron Cohen is fast becoming my favorite comic actor... with this and Borat, he's having a great year. Scriptwise, there were some more funny quotables (though the Girard line where he's shaving his legs and saying "I'm comeeing for YOU, Rickee Bobbee" line wasn't in the film) that some of y'all will be making posts about in about 2-3 days...

"I may be 10 but I'll still kick your ass."

"Is that _______ and ________?"

This is "cracker cooning" at its finest.
