Review of Semi-Pro (2008) by Steve — 03 Mar 2008

Will, you can do so much better. Funny at times, but stupid in others. The Woody Harrelson love story was completely misplaced and just as irrelevant. Oh, wow, poking fun at 70s lame culture like fondu, big shocker.

We already saw that sort of schtick in Anchorman, which was obviously a far superior effort. The 70s card has been played, and fankly, you can't really get any cheesier than what's already been done (reference Farrell's other movie about the 70s, the good one).

Had some funny parts. But overall, just a lame effort. It was like they got together for the pitch idea and said, "we need an R-rated, f-word filled version of Anchorman with Will Farrell playing himself but no surrounding characters.

Let's try it with, oh I don't know...basketball, whatever." Zzzzzz.
