Ron Burgundy reporting... Semi-Pro choked and died at the box office this weekend. It brought in a measly $15.2 million. It was still the #1 movie of the weekend, mostly because there was nothing new in theaters or on tv for that matter. It's safe to say that there is no chance of a rematch for Jackie Moon in a sequel. The film was described by most Will Ferrell fans as "unfunny and disappointing." We can only hope that "Step-Brothers" with John C. Reilly will give us at least one laugh per dollar.

Semi-Pro Movie Reviews
Semi-Pro is out in theaters today! Is it good? Is it just so-so? Is the song the best part of the movie? The one negative thing I did hear about it is that the entire movie does not revolve around Will. There's supposed to be a considerable amount of the story dedicated to Woody Harrelson's character. Blades of Glory did split time between Ferrell and Jon Heder and that was still fun. Here's a link to some of the top reviews in the country on Semi-Pro. Check it out.
Cover of Entertainment Weekly
Look who's on the cover of this week's Entertainment Weekly magazine. There's six pages of this issue dedicated to Will and his new movie Semi-Pro. His article is titled "A Man For All Seasons." You might want to go grab a copy before they're all gone.
