Me and these damned movies from the 90’s

WILL FERRELL - TOP 10

The following is a list of what I believe is the Best films that Will Ferrell has to offer Specifically Films that he has Starred in. Not supporting Roles or cameos in. I do believe he is talented on one of the most constantly Screen comedians of all time. I also appreciate the fact of how big hearted he is especially when it comes to helping out up and coming comedic talent. A Very generous guy the least I can do is recommend his works.

THE NEXT GREAT ACTION HERO

I have made it no secret how I feel there aren’t too many Action heroes today as we had always had in the past. We had Arnold Schwartzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Mel Gibson as the heavyweights of big screen action then we had Chuck Norris, Steven Seagal, Jean Claude Van-Damme more for b-movie status films. Then we had people like Brian Bosworth, Michael Dudikoff, Jeff Speadman, Thomas ian Griffith, Billy Blanks, and a assorted roster of ex-sports stars to topline straight to home video and cable action films. Now while they all tried other genres and to be taken seriously as dramatic actors. Due to varying success they all found there way back to where they were big moneymakers and where there talent more or less was appreciated.

This is what you get when you have a film starring will Ferrell but it is a restrained will ferrell he doesn’t have as many chances for improv with this film no doubt restrained since this is more of a film centered for families plus the cast is mostly kids. Do he is forced to play it more as scripted. The results are not horrible but exactly what you would expect in a family film. But if you notice up until now he still hasn’t made another family centric film since.

On the plus side it's not as horrible as youwould expect it's entertaining even amusing at times. Some other people are funny but it is mainly a project for Ferrell to take center stage. This is one of the comedies you would thinkhe would have taken more when he was on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE not so much when he made the leap to features. But this did help cement him a guaranteed hit and open up his fan base to a younger demographic that could actually get to see his films without there parents. Since most of the movies he had made at this point were Rated R.

The film is about Ferrell as a kind not very athletic businessman who’s father is a manly man who is a soccer coach who benches his grandson. so Ferell decides to coach his own soccer team with his son and other misfits as team members. At first he is a nightmare until he gets mike ditka to coach due to a rivalry with his father and soon the success and power goes to his head.

The main theme of the film is, Learning understanding and the importance of a relationship between a father and son. Which is unusual in of itself as most Will Ferrell films don't actually have a main theme. they are jsut surreal and off the wall.

Not the best of Will Ferrell’s films in fact this is one of his first sports themed films. It’s like watching a caged animal watching his work here. He is still entertaining and putting on a good show, but it’s like he is being held back from the top of his talent and what he is capable of. But at least you understand why it must be like this.

This is a nice film to watch with the whole family, a noteworthy rental
