Review of Semi-Pro (2008) by Ian B — 19 Nov 2011

Definitely Will Ferrell's weakest movie in a long time and proof that he needs to stop doing sports comedies! As with most comedies these days the movie actually starts off funny and then goes down the toilet pretty quickly and by the end you've completely lost interest.

As usual, Will Ferrell provides some good laughs (just not as many as I'm used to), and the supporting cast is quite good, but it's just not that funny and feels really tired and old. I thought Will Arnett and Andrew Daly as the two sports announcers were the highlight of the movie.

I'm not even sure this movie could have been any funnier because we've just seen this story recycled 100 times in the last few years. Better luck next time, Will.
