Finally saw Anchorman today.
Thought I'd be ROFL. Man, what a disappointment. It was okay, but I was expecting great.

2. Exactly. They're few and far between. I'm also sick of Ben Stiller

I have high hopes for The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. My friend said it was outstanding. Cross your fingers!

well, then again, it benefitted from my expectations being very low BECAUSE so many comedies are let downs these days.

9. That's pretty much it. I thought Zoolander was good, but I'm figuring
out that Owen Wilson is the real star. Hate his dramatic stuff, but he's very good with comedy. And Bill Murray is just a god.

8. Certainly not Napoleon Dynamite
I just watched it last night and it gave me nightmares. It was really, really bad. Jared Hess is no Wes Anderson, even though he wants to be.

5. I saw it on a flight from Honolulu to Seattle
I thought it was pretty funny. I got a few good laughs out of it, but I was also a captive audience.

10. You probably were expecting too much
I try to ignore anyone that's talking about a movie that I want to see. As soon as you hear a bunch of people talk about how it changed their life you end up expecting it to be more than it is.
