Thoughts
For some reason his movies never seem to be as laugh-out-loud funny as I'd like. I actually laugh the most when he does live improv. This was funnier than 'Anchorman', with Will Ferrell in top Will Ferrell form. The supporting cast was pretty funny too, including the boss from 'Office Space'.

Nevertheless, this is a must see because of one scene: when Ricky stabs his thigh with a knife. If you've seen this, you know what I mean. I have never cried while laughing in my life until this scene, and could not stop giggling for the next ten minutes. In fact, give me a minute while I giggle some more.

What I would change
More scenes like the knife scene.
