Ok... so I had the ... ummm... "opportunity" to see the movie Semi-Pro, and let me be the first (not the first) to tell you that this movie, should have ridden the "short-bus" all the way to the theatre.
I mean, I expected (as I always do) for Will Ferrel to be the exact same character he always is. I don't mind that, I'm a big Will fan. But this movie with most of the plot-line already written in history was extremely void of creativity. It became apparent very quickly why the producers (or whoever it is that is responsible for making this kind of decision) decided to go for an "R" rated version. Because they had nothing else, and I mean nothing. The jokes were old and more predictible than usual, with the "F-Bomb" thrown in. Clearly this is an attempt to attract the kind of crowd that snickers everytime someone says "peepee." (ok, I may have snickered there)
Don't get me wrong, I don't write off movies because of the "F" word. I understand the thematic element it can provide, but it did nothing for this movie. And it, by the way, was the ONLY reason this movie was "R." That's how I know they were sitting in a room going,
"I think we're done guys..."
"Crap! Really? This is what we spent Millions of dollars on??"
"We're screwed... we gotta do something..."
"I know!!!"
And then it happened, and the movie still sucked. The movie characters even acknowledged the unnecessary use of the word (which by the way, was the only comical value to come out of the "R" rating).
So there you have it, I give this movie a D+ and I will NEVER watch it again.
This movie was bad
and now I am sad
Cuz it cost 5 dollars
The end...ollars...
The actual end.
