Despite earning the top spot at the box office, the
predictable laughs in Will Ferrell's
Semi-Pro only earned $15.3 million over the weekend. This is considered a disappointing sum, especially compared to opening weekends of other Ferrell films like
Talladega Nights and
Blades of Glory. Variety reports that
this underwhelming performance by the basketball comedy may have been due to mediocre reviews and an R-rating.

Not unlike Anne Boleyn herself, the movie version of Philippa Gregory's bestselling novel
The Other Boleyn Girl is both greatly ambitious and flawed. It's lovely to look at, yet unsatisfying as a film. In some ways, it seems like a video that will soon be used in history classes as one of the many ways we can view Anne Boleyn's life and death.

Welcome back, members of the
Buzz Book Club! Now that I've finished Philippa Gregory's
The Other Boleyn Girl, I'm excited to chat about it in its entirety. This is a fun time to wrap everything up as
the movie opens this weekend as well.
