Watched both of them this weekend and were both lame. I loved Talladega Nights and thought that Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly were great in that one, but these two pretty much sucked. They had a few funny parts, but definitely not worth it.

I actually expected Semi Pro to be absolutely terrible after reading some reviews, but I thought it was decent. Maybe my expectations were so low that it helped. I watched the "Let's Get Sweaty" edition, if that makes any difference.

There were definitely some lame parts - I thought Woody Harrelson and Maura Tierny's side story was unneeded and boring, but there were some pretty funny parts. I particularly liked the eye-liner gag.

I actually didn't think Walk Hard was that bad.

The best part of Semi Pro was when the ref (who was a preacher) called a foul on Jackie Moon, and he told him "Suck my cock, I'll murder your family." I got the biggest laugh from that part.

I was planning on buying SP last week, but just never got around to it. It'll likely be a while till I see it now.

Unless I get a bug up my arse next time I'm in BB.

I thought Walk Hard was great. Best Bob Dylan impression ever.

I watched parts of Semi Pro over the weekend and it was average. It's Will Ferrell, so you know what kind of comedy to expect, and that's exactly what it was.

I laughed my arse off at that.

Guy 1: "What the hell is this song about?"
Guy 2: "I have no idea."
Tim Meadows: "You guys are idiots. This song is deep."

I just saw Walk Hard this weekend, and IMHO it wasn't that bad. Had a lot of funny parts to it. Tim meadows stole the movie to me. "You don't want no part of this" Hilarious.

He was okay.

I was a huge fan of Paul Rudd's John Lennon.


And I ended up buying SP yesterday. So that didn't last long.

I didn't know that was him. Looks like they had just about everyone from the previous movie , expect for Romany malco, and Seth Rogan.

Just wanted to jump back in on this thread and say how hilarious I find Walk Hard. One of the more underrated comedies and better spoofs out there IMO....and while on topic I thought Semi-Pro was garbage.
