# Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007) (producer)
- good reviews, bad box office performance (see above)

# Superbad (2007) (producer)
- made no sense, couldn't follow the plot, not funny, gave up with 30 minutes left

# Knocked Up (2007) (producer)
- not funny.  flip flopped between tired cliche and depressing.  got to the part with the woman in labor and turned it off.

# Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006) (producer)
- I could only stand this one for 15 minutes

# The 40 Year Old Virgin (2005) (producer)
- funny, boring, funny, boring.  ending was completely ridiculous and ruined it.

# Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004) (producer)
- about one joke every 10 minutes was funny, gave up halfway through.


I was listening to NPR last night and they did a long, long interview about Dewey Cox and played several of the songs from the movie.  Not a single one of them was funny.

Obviously you are just too much of an intellectual for these movies.  They have all done well and the average person enjoys them.

Oh man, I liked every one of those movies very much with the exception of Dewy Cox which I haven't seen YET.  The only one I'd score less than maybe an 8 (out of 10) is Knocked Up and even that I'd recommend as maybe 6/6.5...  If I were the type who goes to theaters, I'd definitely go see Walk Hard!

I pretty much agree with this. I thought Knocked up was somewhat funny. Unfortunately, the F-bomb was dropped WAY too much and really took away from that movie. If it was PG-13, it would have been much funnier.

40 year old virgin was definitely overrated. There were some funny spots, but it seemed to just drag on forever, and had way to much pointless dialogue.

I wanted Ricky Bobby to be funny, but it just wasn't.

Anchorman. Wow, that movie was a huge turd.
