I’m a sucker for Will Ferrell movies and this time is no different. “Semi-Pro” puts Ferrell behind the wheel of another sports comedy, or “sportscomedy” as I like to call them, as a 70’s semi-professional basketball player and team owner. When his league gets merged with the pros he’s gotta get his team together to make the cut. Somehow I think we can expect everything to work out just fine in the end, but the road to get there will presents lots of problems. Woody Harrelson reappears and looks to play the real brains behind the team and coaching. I’ll be looking forward to seeing how Arnett fits in as I missed him in the trailer. So what do you think? Can you deal with another “Blades of Glory” type sports comedy from Ferrell or are you waiting for his next return to a small college town?
