Totally out there option - Eurovision: The Story of Fire Saga with Will Ferrell.

It has the humour of a Will Ferrell movie, but it also has a feeling about it at the end that I do not get from many movies.

And along with everything else in the movie, Graham Norton plays his role absolutely beautifully in it as a bonus.

Oh no. Cannot agree with this one at all. This just proves comedy is subjective. His least funny comedy by a long shot and I love all his other stuff.

Sorry RIMB. 1/10 for me.

I understand that :). Why I called it an out there option. Musicals put some people off all by themselves, let alone Ferrell's polarising humour.

It is the feeling I get from the very well done musical parts that I love the movie for. Less so for the Jah Jah Ding Dong parts.

I did this weekend and I liked it... I think Leo was superb, I like watching an actor convince the audience its not them... bet even more I like when it happens so seamlessly you forget which actor it is until the end credits without realising.

Father with guns trying to rescue his daughter. Yeah dozens of films like it. Hollywood just plucks a tried and tested theme from their shelf and rolls it out again and again.

Thats a little simplistic but yeah, basic premise... I think it was more to do with the dark undercurrent of disenfranchised society that hides in broad daylight in the US... The roles are reversed in many ways too. it DID remind me of something I cant quite put my finger in but its no Taken. I quite licked it, different.

Not raunchy per se but if you’re talking about un-PC comedy in general, Scary Movie 6 comes out in a few months’ time
