"The Frat Pack" - I love 'em, do ya?

Tools    





I wipe my ass with your feelings
So according to IMDB, the media supposedly dubbed a name to actors Vince Vaughn, Will Ferrell, Jack Black, Ben Stiller, Steve Carrell, Owen Wilson, and Luke Wilson. Why? I guess they're all friggin Funnay. The only two odd names that stick out are Jack Black and Steve Carrell because I haven't seen them in a movie with the rest of the others...or so I believe.

The listed actors above are hilarious and without a doubt great actors. Not the greatest, but it's definitely worth the admission fee at the movies. Also Vaughn is considered the leader of the pack. I only see it as that because he, IMO, has the best acting skills out of them all. Black comes in second.

Anyways, what are your favorite movies brought together by the Frat Pack where two or more of the actors have taken role in?

I loved Zoo Lander, Anchorman (I guess this is where Carrell fits in), Dodgeball, Starsky and Hutch, Zoo Lander, Meet the Parents. Nothing else comes to mind at the moment.

Anyways, DO YOU LOVE EM? DO YA?

Lost in never never land
For the most part I love them. I can't stand Meet the Parents or Meet the Fockers, but I do like most of the other stuff they have done. Jack Black is probably my favorite actor from that group. But Vaughn, Wilson, and Stiller are all very good as well.

Hit or miss. Some of the funniest and some of the most boring films I've ever seen.

But they have nowhere near the amount of misses that the bad boys of snl have, oh dear. (No disrespect to Chris Farley)

The Frat Pack are derived from the Rat Pack. The Frat Pack aren't related to the Brat Pack, although they both came from the same source.
