If you don’t get what was so funny about Talladega Nights, then you are probably a NASCAR fan, cause those were the only ones who didn’t get it. ‘If you’re not first, your last!”

Can’t wait for this movie. Great casting and could be a funny premise if they do it right.

“hang glider hi-jinks.”

Is that a reference to “Young Sherlock Holmes” I see?

Sounds very interesting. I also like that Ferrell is playing the side-kick this time. Imagining Cohen as Sherlock Holmes with the pipe is already making me laugh.

what person in their right mind would be waiting for this more than RDJ?

Will Ferrels adlibs are not funny whatsoever.

This sounds great. Anything with the name “Apatow” on it is worth my time, especially a project with three actors that are in high demand right now.

i hate it when two similar movies get released close to the same time. I was really looking forward to Guy Ritchie’s movie and I am scared that this one will take away from it.

I really like the casting but does anyone else agree with me when I say I’m starting to lose faith/interest in the Apatow group? They’ve made some great movies but I hate how his name has become a brand. I still love all the stuff he does but a lot of post superbad movies that have his name thrown on it have not been up to snuff if you ask me.

This film has a better chance of being made sooner and be more interesting and funnier for a wider audience.

I live in the UK and no one cares anymore about Sherlock Holmes anymore, the same as how much they like a Guy Ritchie film.

I must admit I find this to be full of potential. I’m not usually a fan of Will Farrell movies, but I absolutely love Taladega Nights and Stranger then Fiction is a exceptional movie. I personally would like to see Will Farrell do more films like it. He has real talent which is unfortuantely being squandered because people like to watch him dress up in funny outfits.

These two are quite possibly two of the funniest people on the planet right now and hopefully this will be as funny as it can be. *crosses fingers*

Is this before or after Rogen’s Green Hornet? oi vey. I swear, these pot heads are ruining Hollywood.

Note to execs, no one really finds these guys entertaining. Quit pandering to the Not another teen movie/meet the spartans audience and why not pay some real screenwriters/producers, and actors to deliver genuinely good stuff. thanks.
