I always give Stranger Than Fiction as an example to see Will Ferrall do a non-usual comedy movie, I enjoyed it anyways. Some people can’t stand his usual schitck which I can understand. Though I do enjoy the studiest of comedy and he can nail that genre, but I do think it takes talent/skill to pull it off as well as he does.
Carry definitely has good options too, The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and I don’t think he went all funny guy in The Number 23, I recall I enjoyed it but very litte else about it.
Edit: Oh of course Truman Show but that goes without saying.
In that vein, Uncut Gems with Adam Sandler. Great performance, but if you have anxiety issues you might want to skip it, it’s a bit of a rough watch. But you should definitely watch his acceptance speech for a Film Independent Spirit award.
It’s the best example of why I don’t like him. It’s a stupid movie about stupid people doing stupid things in a stupidly written way. It’s one of 2 movies I’ve ever walked out on.
I have no response or defence for that. You’re right. All I can say is, although I’m more of a drama guy, that movie had me in stitches beginning to end.
Out of all the Will Farrell movies you could have picked you went and used the best one as your example?
