Semi-Pro

One item checked off my to-do list for the weekend. Granted, I had to skip Friday church to catch the movie.

I'll put this movie on a par with "Talladega Nights" ... make of that what you will. But I liked both and rank them a notch above "Blades of Glory". The genre that Will Ferrell has with sports films is down to a formula, but it's a formula that I have to admit to liking.

Any comparison to "The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh" is just marginal at best. Not enough disco music in this movie ... and that's something I don't say very often. Maura Tierney is no Stockard Channing and Andre 3000 is no Dr. J. On the plus side, I actually didn't loathe Woody Harrelson's character (a first in a long, long time).

Good for a laugh ... I recommend it. Of course, I also recommend an official release of Fish on DVD. Make of that what you will.

College baseball on Sunday. Place bets on how much time I spend boring my friends with my diatribe on why the aluminum bat is heretical to all things baseball.
