I’m not going to say it’s a curse on Saturday Night Live alumni from the 90’s…but, how many times can the same actor play the same character in different movies? I mean, seriously…David Spade, Jimmy Fallon, Chris Kattan…been there, done that. The curse even applies to those who have enjoyed success since leaving the show…I’m sure there are Jim Belushi, Phil Hartman & Chris Farley jokes to be made, but I’m trying not to cement my one way ticket straight to hell.

I liked ‘Stranger Than Fiction’ and was hoping it would do for Ferrell what ‘A League of their Own’ did for Tom Hanks…open the possibility that he’s got some acting chops instead of replaying characters from tired sketch comedies. It should have been a sure fire winner…after all, he didn’t have to share screen time with Rosie O’Donnell or Madonna.

Is Will Ferrell funny in Semi-Pro funny? Maybe…I wouldn’t know. But I bet it isn’t as funny as when it was ‘Talladega Nights’ or ‘Anchorman’ or ‘Old School’.
