Wow...

Marketing budget was 150% of the movie budget.

I saw it the first night and the place was packed. However, it didn't sustain the way it should have for a Will Ferrell movie. It did not get to its current status until DVD.

I am curious if this will be a movie that maintains or just has one big weekend (possibly just two big nights when it opens) and fades.

Yeah, no way a pg 13 movie can be funny.

Anyway, don't worry the nr version and two other versions will be on the bluray.

Was hoping for NC-17, and something like a big-budget version of "Naughty Network".

This already hit the advance screening rounds a week ago, and another wave is coming this week. Still haven't heard word on how it is though.

I went to a screening tonight, it's def one of the best comedies I've ever seen. It's hit or miss but very hit. It has a high rewatch value.

Yeah, it's currently at 89% with 27 reviews. The original wound up with a 66%.

Saw this last night at the stupid $33 screening. Not as good as the first, but still really damn funny. If I had to rank the Ferrell/McKay joints...

Anchorman > Step Brothers > Anchorman 2 > Talladega Nights > The Other Guys



Not in the movie, by the way.

Not surprising, but always disappointing when they show stuff that doesn't make the cut.
