Thoroughly brilliant Christmas tale that can be quite hilarious at times as this is Will Ferrell in his element as the manchild and innocent titular character, it has wide appeal and great set pieces and an early role for game of thrones Peter Dinklage. "Santa, I know him"

Not the best Will Ferrell movie, not the best Adam McKay movie... not even the best Will Ferrell *and* Adam McKay movie. It's sloppy, looks like utter crap, and the comedy is largely hit or miss (the Steve Carell stuff particularly - working at about one hit for every four misses). All that being said however, when this does hit it's absolutely fucking hilarious and features some of the most cripplingly funny moments I've ever seen in a comedy film (that scene with Ferrell, Armisen, and the cat poop is an all-timer). What this lacks in presentation and consistency it makes up for admirably in categorical absurdity. If this were more polished it'd be a deadpan hall-of-famer about a bunch of colorful (literally and figuratively), dopey goofballs dabbling in real proud juvenility. Instead it ends up being a really good comedy, but there's room for some refining. You won't see me complaining about that too much, though. The cameos are close to flawless.

I've seen this film I don't know how many times and I don't think I'll ever get over it. John C. Reilly and Will Ferrell together are gold and I don't care what anyone says! I also recently listened to a podcast that had Adam Scott on and he talked about his experience on Step Brothers and it made me want to watch the film all over again to notice the things he was talking about!

I think this might be my favorite Reilly-Ferrell film - this or Talladega Nights. It's super funny and enjoyable. Definitely recommend.

If you are looking for stupid funny try this movie. Not great but not the worse i have seen. It is a Will Ferrell movie so what do you expect. It had a great cast but the script was weak. It could have been a better movie if they developed the script more.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but not a big fan.

Will Ferrell played a very lacking character. I had no interest in seeing him succeed at all. I was invested in Rachel McAdams character but not enough to rescue the weak script.

I really wanted to enjoy this and I'm disappointed I wasn't able to.

This is a really funny film. I love the duo of Will Ferrell and Mark Walhberg. It also has a great cast. Micheal Keaton, Samuel Jackson, The Rock, Derek Jeter.

The plot: Unlike their heroic counterparts on the force, desk-bound NYPD detectives Gamble (Will Ferrell) and Hoitz (Mark Wahlberg) garner no headlines as they work day to day. Gamble relishes his job as a paper pusher, but Hoitz is itching to get back on the street and make a name for himself. When a seemingly minor case turns out to be a big deal, the two cops get the opportunity to finally prove to their comrades that they have the right stuff.

Its a must see film.
