      Hilariously this is one of Christopher Nolan’s favourite movies.

      Whenever I see Will Ferrell I can’t ever forget what I once saw on Letterboxd ..

      “Every Will Ferrell movie I have seen except for Stranger Than fiction has been a reskin of the exact same movie, including this one.

      Here’s the formula-
      – Main character is a goofy man child who dresses goofily and has a funny haircut
      – Goofy man child has a hidden talent that nobody else sees in him
      Goofy man child is ridiculed by his family as a child for not being good at anything
      – Goofy Man Child takes a big risk to fulfill his dreams which usually fails at first
      – Goofy man child meets a flawless in every way blond female  or gay character who helps him realize his potential
      – Goofy man achieves his dream and proves his worth to the world with help of flawless female/gay character
      – goofy man child is finally accepted by his family”

    3. Hilarious to think that the director would then go on to win an Oscar for writing the Big Short and helping to develop Succession on HBO.

      This was also the start of the generational run of hits that Judd Apatow had his name attached to. 40 year old virgin, Anchorman, Talladega Nights, Knocked Up, Superbad, Pineapple Express and so many others.

      Okay, I’ve gotta ask… what was with kid playing young Ricky Bobby and his mouth not matching up with what he’s saying in the classroom scene with his dad coming in for Career Day? Does it seem like it’s weirdly ADR’d?
