But seriously, it was just incredibly witty, self-aware, and consistently humorous. [spoiler]If you haven't seen the movie, don't read this: I thought the introduction of the kid and Will Ferrell was hilarious, but I think it would have been better as a quick gag, rather than the crux of the entire plot. It kinda defeated the wonder of the story.[/spoiler] So yeah, go see this. Go see it with a lady (but not on a first date...never do movies on the first date). Elizabeth Banks even managed to make a Lego character hot.
