Interview: Will Ferrell, actor and comedian
A STUFFED, talking Bengal tiger acts as spirit guide. A Whiter Shade Of Pale is sung, in the Mariachi style. A close-up of a villain’s sunglasses shows a crew member in the reflection, eating a sandwich. And let’s not even start to discuss the sex scene that involves a mannequin body double.
