Will Ferrell is an ABA player/coach/owner when the ABA is about to merge into the NBA. Hilarity ensues.

Re: Semi-Pro

Plan on going to check this out tomorrow. Haven't been to the movies in quite a while. I guess that happens when you move somewhere where you know absolutely no one for a job.

Re: Semi-Pro

I really enjoyed it. If you aren't a fan of Ferrell don't go just to complain about it later. If you are, you will love it!

Re: Semi-Pro

I'm usually a big fan of Will Ferrell movies, but I thought it was really bad.

I hardly laughed. There are a few good scenes that really got me going, but most of the movie just wasn't funny. The story is worse than usual for a Ferrell movie. And there is a story line that keeps interrupting the movie, and it's just horrendous.

Overall, i'd say 2/5. By the last 10-15 minutes of the movie, I was just dying for it to be over.

Re: Semi-Pro

Yeah I saw it tonight...it was okay. Nothing great, a few funny parts. The storyline with Woody Harrelson was horrible and Andre 3000 just isn't a good actor. Ferrell is Ferrell.

I didn't really like Talladega Nights but liked Blades of Glory so take what I say with a grain of salt. I'd give the movie a C+.

I'm with you guys, too. There just wasn't that much to laugh at in this movie. It was nowhere near as good as Talladega Nights or Anchor Man. I was pretty disappointed in this one.

Re: Semi-Pro

I'm not a Ferrell fan, but the commercials looked really funny. And I liked Anchorman, so I gave it a shot. Some parts were funny, but not enough.

The commercials are the funniest part of this movie.

Unless you really, really, really like Will Ferrell, I don't suggest it. No storyline, not that funny, just kind of all over the place.

I'm getting tired of these "ridiculous scenario" movies, where they just stick Will Ferrell in funny situations and watch as millions of people line up and pay 8 dollars a pop to see almost the same exact film they saw in Anchorman, Elf or Talladega Nights. I can't say I'm not one of the sheep, because I went on opening weekend to see Anchorman, Semi-Pro and Talladega Nights... but it's safe to say I won't be doing that again.


I like Will Ferrell, but I'm just gonna wait until he comes out with something fresh and creative before I plop down 10 bucks to sit through 2 minutes of funny and 88 minutes of mediocrity.

Re: Semi-Pro

I'm a big Will Ferrell fan so I liked it alright. But its definitely the worst of his movies.

Re: Semi-Pro

I thought it was pretty funny. When were all around the table playing poker and the one gun pulled the gun, that was hilarious.
