Will Ferrell as W...

[WCGreen]

Not so much.

10 minutes in, I was starting to look at the clock to see how much more of this was going to be on.

Partner fell asleep.

Potty humor disguised as political satire.

At least that's my opinion.

Maybe it's because we all know what a jack ass Bush was and really, a little Ferrell goes a long way.

[Cleita]

1. Actually it's quite good. He's really spearing "W".n/t

[WCGreen]

2. I watched it for almost a half hour and I thought it was pretty

boring...

[Cleita]

3. Perhaps wit isn't your bailiwick. n/t

[WCGreen]

7. I don't believe it takes all that much wit to poke fun at the most

witless president in living memory.

Perhaps you are just projecting your distaste for the former president on to any available object.

Imaginary threesomes that are really foursomes? Boy that's right up there with Oscar Wilde.

[Cleita]

9. I don't care about your psychological analysis. My husband was very witty and a fan of Oscar Wilde.

I think, if he were alive today he would have really enjoyed this.

[WCGreen]

11. Perhaps I just have a more concise definition of Wit...

[Cleita]

18. You mentioned Oscar Wilde, the playwright, who cast a discerning eye

on the British aristocracy, making a lot of fun of them. I don't find what Will Farrell is doing any different. Maybe you think because something is supposed to be comedic that it is a laugh a minute. He's shining a light on the person that is very Oscar Wilde witty in my estimation. But you stick to your concise definition.

4. Where is

our former cic?

[Mabus]

5. I have to agree with you

I see a lot of people giving it glowing reviews but I stopped watching it after about 15 minutes. I watched it when it was live but it just didn't capture my attention.

My husband, a huge Ferrell fan came into the room a while ago and turned into the repeat. He wasn't impressed either. After about five minutes he switched it over to some Kevin Bacon movie. We both agreed we'd give it another shot when it is available on-demand. We might change our minds but we might not.

6. Guess I didn't miss too much...

We decided to watch "The Handmaid's Tale" tonight instead...

[WCGreen]

8. Not really...

The Handmaid's Tale is chilling, isn't it.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. My god.

It was. I had to keep telling myself it's only a movie...

We really enjoyed it.

[glinda]

10. I thought it had it's moments. Seeing it on TV is not the same as on Broadway.

[MarjorieG]

12. Missed opportunity. His usual spot-on Bush impersonation, older SNL bits and ads were better.

Ferrell as Bush afraid of horses, etc. This was too much like the recent Ferrell movies with the 'potty humor.'

[WCGreen]

13. I agree...

very predictable.

[tulsakatz]

14. for some reason, I just have not been interested in this one...........

For some reason, I just have not been interested in this one. And the only reason that occurs to me is that the Bush era is over. I'm tired of thinking about him. He's gone (thank God!) and he will very likely never be relevant again.

I don't even want to think about that asshole anymore.......not even to laugh at him!

[WCGreen]

17. It was almost painful to have to relive, even through a comedian's

eye, the tragedy our country was put through...

[tulsakatz]

19. exactly!

we all suffered through 8 yrs of that tragedy!! I see no reason to waste any more of my life on remembering it.

Maybe in a few yrs I will change my mind.

[Clyde39]

15. Our family had a completely opposite reaction---we thought it was outstanding

There were a couple parts I didn't care for but he nailed Bush on so many things. His tribute to the troops was very moving.

[WCGreen]

20. I didn'tlast that long...

[MrPerson]

21. Hogan's Heroes probably didn't go over big among

death camp survivors either.

[Onceuponalife]

22. It was fucking hilarious

OP I'm gonna give you a nickname. I'm gonna call you....Crankypants!

[WCGreen]

23. Fair enough...

[morningglory]

24. We watched it, and my husband laughed all the way through. He was

expecting the elf, but WF transformed himself into W. I was surprised that he wrote it. It his all the highlights of the chimp's fabulous career.
