...instant social acceptance of Penelope's defining characteristic wouldn't suit the social-outcast theme of Leslie Caveny's script. Penelope has been so scarred by the superficial way she's been judged that, when she goes into a local pub, she wears a kerchief across the middle of her face, forcing her to drink a glass of beer with a straw. Caveny also has a slew of sow jokes to subject us to. "Bad nose job," notes Reese Witherspoon, who shows up at the bar (and was one of the film's producers). And when Penelope gorges...

Ferrell is a natural comedian who’s at his best in films like “Wedding Crashers” and last year’s “Anchorman.” But even he could not turn a script that was disastrously half-baked (to put it lightly) into something halfway decent. For a comedy, “Semi-Pro” provoked remarkably few laughs. For a comedy featuring Will Ferrell, it provoked shockingly few. Moon (Ferrell) cracks awful joke after awful joke to the point of awkwardness...
