October 22, 200619 yr Along with Jack Black and Denzel Washington, I will blindly follow Will Ferrel into any movie.
October 22, 200619 yr I saw the trailer for the first time yesterday. The concept seemed pretty funny. I'll probably see it regardless since Will Ferrel's movies have all been pretty good except Bewitched.
October 22, 200619 yr I'm really excited about this movie's release. The concept seems really interesting and, if pulled off correctly, has the potential to be something original and entertaining. Alot of people have hyped up the movie's screenwriter as another "Next big thing in Hollywood." I'm interested in seeing if the label is warranted. He's got another movie coming out soon as well.
October 23, 200619 yr Seemed Truman Showish, but I liked what I saw. I'll catch it at some point. I think I understand the connection you see, but it's really nothing alike.

Well, the basic premise I got from the trailer was Truman Show meets Adaptation. It's a good concept, not the first time it's been done from a writing standpoint, with a good cast (anyone else notice Buster from Arrested Development). I'm not saying that's a bad thing.
