Not a hot take, but Will Ferrell was never leading man material. He was ever only funny in either an ensemble or as just a bit player.
They tried to make him Bill Murray, but he was always a Rick Moranis. Maybe a Dan Aykroyd
He had a couple clunkers after Anchorman and Talladega Nights. There was that terrible figure skating one too.
According to Crazy Days and Nights he’s a very mean dude in real life.
I went looking for more info and now I'm worried he's a rapist https://www.crazydaysandnights.net/2018/07/blind-item-12-reader-blind-item.html
I dont know if this a hot take but late 2000s early 2010s comedy movies were the high point for comedy movies
Never saw the movie but I do remember a brief push for calling "Jackie Moon!" when shooting for a solo cup in beer pong. Didn't last long.
I remember liking this one a lot when I was little, saw it recently and it was just so meh
