1. I think he's great.
But I haven't seen some of the newer movies. Some didn't look that funny. But a lot of the stuff he does I find hilarious.

3. I do.
He's had a couple misses, but most of his stuff is hilarious.

6. Enough so that he'll never have to work again.
He's awesome, but I don't think Hollywood makes movies that would really be right for him.

There was that Confederacy of Dunces project that seems to have been abandoned.

12. Confederacy of Dunces would have been brilliant
Farrell as Ignatius...Tomlin as mom...Carrell as Mancuso

14. I hate reviews of movies as yet unseen...
...much less of those never made, but when I heard about it, I was predicting an Oscar for Farrell. Ignatius might have been written for him.

7. More than I can watch.
Sometimes you need Dumb, helps with the numb. And sometimes a pacifist needs something like that.

8. i like him a lot
i loved his nude model skit on snl, as well as the neil diamond impersonation.

anchor man, semi pro, blades of glory zoolander as well as more that he is in are quite amazing. and i must say that his humor is a bit betterthan sophmoric, imho.

9. He's awful, just frigging awful
You only have to see him on a chat show to realize how unfunny he really is. I wish they'd stop casting him, it only encourages the guy.

10. Sorry, but I thought "Talledega Nights" was a funny slap at the freepers
and their faux-patriotism USA! USA! crap.

15. He had a brilliant supporting cast in Talladega Nights
Especially the cougar.

ps: Did you know they only have daytime races in Talladega?

11. Love Farrell
He's brilliant.

Comic timing is better than Belushi.

And Belushi was good.

13. He's making as many movies as he can before people discover he's a one-trick pony.
Of course, some people like a one-trick pony, so maybe his career isn't in jeopardy, after all.

17. Hate to tell ya that he cracks me up!
Now, he does have some dumb stuff out there, but he does have some funny stuff. I thought Old School was hilarious.

23. The bit where he is running naked down the street
absolutely cracks me up...and the whole riding naked in the car with the women scene is hilarious.

18. A little bit goes a long way
Some of his stuff is funny, but the last several movies just seem the same plot over and over.

:shrug:

19. He's a guilty pleasure.
Most of his movies are extremely dumb, but worth the rental fee at least.

20. "Sophomoric" is my middle name.
SO I even laughed at the ridiculous ice-skating film. :shrug:

21. I loved him in "Stranger Than Fiction"
I need to watch Talladega Nights... but living half an hour from the Talladega Super Speedway, I see quite enough of the NASCAR crowd every time I go to buy groceries.

22. Semi-Pro totally sucked.
Talladega Nights, on the other hand, was freakin' hilarious (mostly, I think, due to the supporting cast and excellent writing). Same for Anchorman.

But his shit has started to get old.
