Semi Pro

Semi-Pro was... Semi-Funny. Oh yeah. I went there. I am sure other online movie geeks will use that same wording in describing this movie.

If you can, get to this movie soon enough to see the previews. But be forewarned. You may find yourself wishing you could see the movies advertised more than the movie you will have just finished watching. For me, this is Will Ferrell's weakest film. But to his credit, this film would be others best. Problem with Ferrell, for me, is that he has set the bar pretty high with Anchor Man and Talladega Nights being a couple of my favorite comedies.

When I go to see a Ferrell movie. I except to see something I haven't seen before and hear quotable dialog. Instead this is a standard copy paste story with Will Ferrell in many cases playing second banana to Woody Harrelson's character. I didn't even know Harrelson was going to be in this. It is a shame too that his character has to bring down what might have been a funnier movie excluding his redemption story line. The parts I found most amusing were those that included Jackie Earle Haley, of Bad News Bears fame, as Dukes.

In the end I had wished Harrelson's character and story would have been completely cut. It would have made this a funnier and tighter film.

I am not saying this is a bad film. Just not a balls out Will Ferrell comedy.
