MCT:September 4, 2008Don't waste you time with this vulgar thing. only a few funny moments. The rest is crudely over the top. ie-vomiting scenes.

MCT:September 4, 2008Will Ferrel needs to stop. You are not as funny as those around you. Please stop irritating me. If I could I would punch you in the face, on sight- Three ways; Hard, Fast and Continuously... Please, please, please let me hit this jerk in the face so I can break some teeth.

MCT:September 1, 2008Semi-Pro was such a funny movie. The whole movie was extremely funny. It's not easy to make me laugh in movies either so when it does it has to mean it is a funny movie. Will Farrell was very good and did everything perfect for this part. Woody Harrelson also brought a lot to this movie. Andre Benjamin keeps shining in each and every movie he plays in. He will only get better and better as the more movies he plays in. The thing that made the movie even better than it was is because it is rated R. It had a lot of adult humor and lots of stuff for teens. They talked a lot about sex and some very dirty things. It was still done it very good taste despite it being rated R and the dirty humor. It also taught us to be able to play are hearts out and give it everything we got even if we don't have anything to play for. From the very start of this movie till the end it was hilarious. I laughed my butt off at a few different scenes. It will most likely have you laughing hard. That is if you like comedy movies with lots of funny sex related humor. If you can't handle some sex related talks then this is not a good movie for you. One main reason I ended up seeing this movie was because it was about basketball. The whole story pretty much revolved around basketball in one aspect or another. It was about Jackie Moon trying to save his ABA team from being terminated by the end of the year. The NBA is going to take four of the best teams from the ABA to go to the NBA at the end of the season. Jackie Moon is trying to get his team to be one of those four teams. It was cool how the movie had a 70's or 80's story to it. It made it even better taking place in the older days. In those years they didn't even no what an alley-oop was which was very funny. Overall I thought this movie was laugh out loud funny. It should be seen by anyone who likes comedy movies.

Will Ferrell yet again successfully spoofs another sport and gets away with it, also glad to see that he's more involved with R-rated comedy, its much funnier
-

Not bad but its not the best of will farrell. Thought he was better in blades of glory. Also the full frontal shot of up his pants was so not needed!!!
-
MCT:August 24, 2008Is Will Ferrell trying to get typecast? Once again here we go with basically the same character in a sports movie. Only this time even more of the jokes fall flat than usual. There are some great laughs, but really just a handful. Ferrell is fun and its great to see Harrelson back in a comedy, but seriously, how long can the silly sports comedies go on. Even the afros couldn't do it for me. Sorry Will, 'Semi-Pro' is only semi-funny. Bring back Ron Burgundy!!

NOT ONE OF FERRELL'S BEST, I ONLY LAUGHED MY ASS OF AT ONE POINT. BUT I LOVED HOW THE GUY GOT OFF ON MONIX BANGIN' HIS WIFE.
-
MCT:August 19, 2008
I'm disappointed because there isn't much basketball action and it isn't very funny as well. Will Ferrell should buck up in his future movies. But the ending part is quite funny, with the discovery of alley-oop and winning the final game.

A lot of people don't seem to like this movie much but I thought it was pretty good. It isn't Will's best movie but not his worst either. It had some really funny parts in it but it just wasn't enough to make it hilarious. I think if it had some more laughs and a little different cast then it could have been great. The storyline was interesting so there was no problem there. It just came down to needing more Comedy and a diffrent cast.

I AM DONE with Will Ferrell. I used to get excited when a Will Ferrell movie was coming out. Now its like "okay another one", well congratulations youre like the next Kenny Rogers. If you make 29 films a year, how many hits can you have?? Every single one is the same: Will is a big-shot at something. Will has a new competition. Will loses to him/her at whatever Will does. Will is funny-depressed for 5 minutes. One of Will's friends finds him in a dumpster/bar/strip-club/jail,ect. and gets him all pumped up to do what hes good at again.Will saves the day in his underwear...yay. And another thing why is Andre' 3000 co-starring in this film??!! literally all he says is "dat be booshit, rules is rules nigga"

MCT:August 1, 2008Alright, I'm just gonna get right into this one... as we all know, Will Farrell has done some flops lately, Blades of Glory really wasn't a funny movie, you die-hard Farrell fans may disagree, whatever, it wasn't funny. His last semi-descent movie was Talladega Nights and that was what? 2 years ago... This film was a definite flop, very unfunny, most unfunny comedies have their alright funny moments, this one had less than three 'laugh out load' worthy moments, they were few and far between and not memorable after all, as for the plot, I suppose it was alright, even though it was a lost cause and they knew it from half-way through the movie, yet they still go for it. Farrell's performance was very lacking, I just didn't feel the vibe he gives off when he's being funny, it wasn't there. I would say this movie was Semi-Good, but then I'd be thinking far too highly of it.
Do yourself a favor and avoid this all together, there's no aspect of the film that's worth the time. -

Semi-funny. It had a couple of lol moments. I prefer Ferrell as a more naive childlike character. It was ok though.

Not Will Ferrell's best effort, yet it still entertains mildly with its grotesque laughs and cheap thrills. The supporting characters, played by the likes of Andre Benjamin and Woody Harrelson do a good enough job for this sporting spoof. It's still no Anchorman, though.

Jackie Moon: "Everybody panic! Oh my God, there's a bear loose in the coliseum! There will be no refunds! Your refund will be escaping this deathtrap with your life! If you have a small child, use it as a shield! They love the tender meat! Cover your sodas! Dewie loves sugar!"
The movie finds Ferrell as Jackie Moon, a one-hit wonder from the disco era who used his pop music riches to buy the Flint Michigan Tropics, a bumbling ABA team nearing the end of that league's era. The announcement is made that the ABA is folding and only four teams will be absorbed into the NBA; it's determined that the league's four top-ranking teams will be ones to merge, a promise that may or may not be kept. Semi-Pro works best as an "underdogs make good" sort of film, where we watch the team bond and go through the usual training montages and emotional upsets. It's nothing new, but with actors like André Benjamin and Woody Harrelson on board, it stays remarkably fresh. Laughs come from the mouth of Ferrell, who, as his did in "Blades," takes off on his own spaceship of thought and tangents. Watching Jackie freak out over the continual failure of his team is entertaining footage. Semi-Pro is at its funniest when it's at its most surreal. The bickering between the team members is the source of some amusement, and the commentators played by Andrew Daly and Will Arnett are an absolute riot. Each character has a few scenes where they are allowed to shine too, and the eccentricity of some of them adds to the flavour. But for pure belly laughs, you cannot beat the moments where strangeness is an understatement. It's madcap and thoroughly nutty, but that's also what makes it work. -

This wasn't nearly as bad as people led me to believe it would be. It made me chuckle in a few spots, but I love Will Ferrell, what can I say?

The kind of funny Will Farrell movie that cannot fail to cheer you up if you're feeling out of it. Other than that... meh.
-
MCT:July 26, 2008
A step up from Blades of Glory, but still Will Ferrell is starting to look stale. However there were one or two pretty hilarious scenes.
-
MCT:July 26, 2008
In my eyes not Will Ferrels best showing but I think Anchorman and Taladega are to hard to beat. Liked Woody Harrelson in this as well, reminded me of him in Kingpin.
-
MCT:July 25, 2008
Yea this was different and a bit silly, but what do you expect from Will Ferrell? Plus you knew what was gonna happen from the start, so overall it was alright. He's had better movies though.
