Movies by Numbers: Old School...I mean Semi-Pro

I just saw the semi-pro. Definitely has some funny scenes, but the formula for making these films just keeps on getting used.

Nothing against Will Farrell; the guy is hilarious. Woody was good too. Just seeing the same plot points get hit over and over again can be grating. I highly recommend seeing this one on the internets for free. In fact, jsut watching the ads is just about as entertaining as the actual movie.

Despite being deaded, Gene Shalit may still have loved it. In fact he was resurrected by Vincent Price and is said to have called this film a "whimsical warriors-esque wemake of west side story."

  1. Gene Shalit. Damn, him and the Beard toe to toe would be straight up criminal. But you know Ebert during the 80's might take them down just because of his Quadraphenia screen writing skills.

    Semi Pro. Jacki Moon. Old Spice. Nice.
