I gotta be honest here, it's one of Farrell's worst, but still made me laugh!

Rating: Null/10 (6 June 2008)

I can't bare to see it below 6.0 but I can't give it 7, it's one of Ferrell's worst by far. Wedding Crashers, Talladega Nights (literally made me vomit with laughter, it was so OTT), Old School, and of course the classic Anchorman are all twice or even ten times better. But Semi-Pro was still funny in short spurts, so it's a decent watch ONLY if you don't have too much expectations.
Will Ferrell's unique comedy style is very much in-your-face, sometimes even forced toilet humor so he's the kind of guy you either enjoy or hate with a passion. I think he's alright, he doesn't make me cringe as much as some other comedians, and sometimes he really hits it on the nail. He has a great supporting cast here to assist him and they have some great lines. If you like the 70's you will enjoy Semi-Pro. Watch out for the Hippie as well, he's a riot in his two or three scenes! And the two announcers have some great lines between each other.
Unfortunately, Woody Harrelson is very much wasted here. Like Ferrell, he also has a quirky style and I was looking forward to both of them goofing off of each other, but he plays a serious role this time, he's the only guy on the team of semi-pros to have ever played in the NBA, and his storyline just sucks. Most of the character development sucks in Semi-Pro, this is one of the weakest areas of the film. You don't really care much for them, so you're only watching it for the funny lines and Ferrell's idiocy. I'm a fan of Woody so I was disappointed they cast him for this, let's hope he and Ferrell can work together in the future and create some more laughs. Definitely a rental for me, unless you're a Ferrell fan then by all means go see it immediately.
