I could not agree more. Will Ferrell is one of those loud, obnoxious, annoying guys that think everything they say is hilarious and that everyone should hear everything they say. I don't like people like that.

As for NAPOLEON DYNAMITE, I did not like it. I've had many people tell me "you just didn't 'get' it", but believe me I did and there was simply nothing to like about it. In general, any MTV product is going to get a negative reaction from me.

On your and others here's recommendations I've picked this up (it was £4 for a new 1-disc edition on Amazon Marketplace) so I'll let you know how I found it soon.

Okay, I watched it. Being kind I'd give it 4/10. There were some laughs in there, but far too few for 90 minutes. For me, just saying silly things isn't funny and that what 90% of the movie was.

Never watched anything with Will Ferrell in it.
Nothing has ever caught my eye.

Having read some of the entries here, can't see me bothering anytime soon

Sounds to me like someone didn't get it

I think we can say that this is a Marmite subject.

Nah, still not got round to watching it, but it remains on the HDD.

Will Ferrell was quite good in Zoolander, I thought. A large (ish) part but the whole film wasn't centred on him.
