1.0 out of 5 stars UMMM, WHAT?, June 23, 2008

This review is from: Semi-Pro (Unrated) (Amazon Instant Video)
AS COMPARED TO SOME OF HIS OTHER COMEDY CLASSICS...THIS IS FUNNY BUT STUPID. WILL FERRELL NEEDS TO BE A LITTLE MORE SELECTIVE.

1.0 out of 5 stars The worst yet, June 10, 2008
This review is from: Semi-Pro (Unrated) (Amazon Instant Video)
Don't get me wrong, I love Will. However, this movie is a stinker. I held out hope it would pick up steam from the start, but was disappointed. The high point was... it does come to an end eventually. Sorry Will. Better luck next time.

1.0 out of 5 stars How can this movie possibly be so very very bad?, June 17, 2008

This review is from: Semi-Pro (Unrated) (Amazon Instant Video)
In a movie with so many giant comic talents - Will Ferrell, Will Arnett, Andy Richter, Kristin Wiig, Woody Harrelson, etc - I was shocked to laugh ONLY ONE TIME in the whole movie. I've given a lot of thought to how this movie went so very wrong and have come up with the following:

Where other, better Will Farrell movies had a plot only to serve as minimal scaffolding for zany antics, this movie stuck slavishly to the terrible cliched sports comedy story line.
Jackie Moon is too sympathetic - he's an idiot, but not a total pompous ignoramus - so when he does stupid things you cringe instead of laughing. I felt a lot more pity than anything else.
