Chucked this movie on looking for some light-hearted entertainment but was disappointed not to be entertained very much.
Will Ferrell is not as funny as I so often tell myself, and Semi-Pro was almost a carbon copy of Dodgeball, not to mention several other Ferrell films, but it was simply not very funny. His sense of humour is zanier and less compatible with my own but, although I laughed aloud a few times in Semi-Pro, to me Ferrell seems to be a kid who just messes around and somehow makes films out of it. He thrives on playing washed-up men hoping to make it big through sport, and to be honest, he's looking a little washed-up himself after this flick. It's a shame, because I genuinely like Ferrell, but I didn't genuinely like this movie. 4/10
