For example, I don’t like Will Ferrell in his typical roles. Oh they just drive me batty.

But. I do love Stranger Than Fiction. It’s such a cozy movie.

    I couldn’t stand Jason Statham. Then many years ago I watched Spy with Melissa McCarthy and he was the perfect piss take of his characters from so many other movies. Example scene that shows his comedic stupidity. Ever since I haven’t minded the guy.

      If you want another comedic stupidity, he has some funny parts in Snatch. Can’t be bothered to watch his copy&paste action movies, too, though.

        It’s worth watching. I used to not care for Melissa McCarthy because she always just seemed to play the “funny fat lady” parts, but in Spy she was pretty good.

        I think it’s definitely worth watching. I used to not care for Melissa McCarthy because she was always typecast as a “funny fat lady” cliche, but she was pretty good in Spy.

          Check out the film Can You Ever Forgive Me? It’s Melissa McCarthy in a far more dramatic role than her usual (but still darkly funny) and she is amazing in it. She gets to do so much more than her usual schtick.
