 | | 8. Semi Pro (Single Disc) new! | | | Starring: Will Arnett Will Ferrell Director: Kent Alterman | | Format: DVD Release Date: 11/10/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | Semi-Pro - DVD Review By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 5/23/2008 4:31 PM | |
Will Ferrell hasn't run out of sports to exploit in the name of comedy, but if Semi-Pro is any indication, he has run out of original ideas. The funnyman's stable of petulant and grossly overconfident buffoons grows with the addition of Jackie Moon, owner, coach, and starting power forward for the Flint Tropics, a fictional ABA basketball squad hoping to survive the 1976 merger with the NBA. Too bad Moon's team is terrible. Star player Clarence "Coffee" Black (Andre Benjamin) doesn’t understand the concept of teamwork. And Moon would rather plan a memorable halftime show than hit a game-winning shot. read the full review | |

 | | 9. Blades of Glory (HD) | | | Starring: Jon Heder Will Arnett Director: Josh Gordon Will Speck | | Format: High Definition DVD Release Date: 8/28/2007 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | Blades of Glory - DVD Review By: Franck Tabouring - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 8/31/2007 8:23 PM | | I have to admit, when I first heard about the premise of the movie, all I expected was yet another embarrassing slapstick comedy stuffed with tasteless humor and homophobic jokes. Surprisingly, such is not the case, and the concept of two men pairing up to skate has quite a different intention than, let's say, Kevin James and Adam Sandler's fake marriage in I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. read the full review | |

 | | 10. Step Brothers (Single Disc Unrated) | | | Starring: John C. Reilly Will Ferrell Director: Adam McKay | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/26/2009 | User Rating: 5 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | Step Brothers - DVD Review By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 11/21/2008 4:31 PM | |
It's no stretch to call Adam McKay's Step Brothers the year's stupidest film. Part of me feels bad labeling it as such, but then I remember that no movie boasting scenes of a grown man licking dog feces really wants to be taken seriously on any level. And yet, I'd be lying if I told you Brothers didn't make me laugh. read the full review | |

 | | 13. Stranger Than Fiction (Widescreen) | | | Starring: Maggie Gyllenhaal Emma Thompson Director: Marc Forster | | Format: DVD Release Date: 7/22/2008 |  | Stranger Than Fiction (2006) - DVD By: Chris Cabin - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 2/15/2007 9:15 PM | |
For all the talk of Stranger Than Fiction's clever Kaufmanisms, the most honest and sincere part of the film is about as clever as fireworks on the 4th of July. Harold Crick (Will Ferrell) sits at a small table in a local bakery and is coaxed into eating a freshly baked cookie with a glass of milk for dipping. There's a simplicity to the scene that speaks directly to the emotional core of the film, and speaks even more of Ferrell's talents as an actor. read the full review | |
