Will Ferrell is not for everyone I can admit that, and his films have been diminishing returns since ‘Anchor Man’ and the glory of lines like “I’m going to punch you right in the ovaries!” which is a shame, and i’m hoping that ‘Semi-pro’ might take him back to that. The thing is with Ferrell though he’s decent when he’s playing it a bit straighter too; he was great in ‘Stranger than Fiction’ and I really liked him in the Woody Allen film he did a couple of years back called ‘Melinda & Melinda’. Actually some of the short films he’s been doing on his website ‘Funny or Die’(where this trailer is hosted incidentally) are funnier than the hollywood stuff he’s been in

It’s expected the film will be released in February 2008
