Spoils of Babylon - This Thursday

In The Spoils of Babylon, Will Ferrell plays a "nonexistent author of a nonexistent best-seller." His book, written in the 1970s, was supposedly made into a television miniseries that never saw the light of day — until now.

They seem to be pushing this very hard.  I'm trying to believe it's going to be funny but i'm skeptical.
Fifteen minutes later, when the Kansas locker room opened its doors to the media, the Jayhawks were still crying. Literally, bawling. All of them. I've never seen anything like it, and I've seen devastated college locker rooms -- after losses in the Final Four, the national championship game -- ever

I would help if you were a veteran watcher of 80's mini-series, which I am.  Shogun, Thorn Birds, etc, all were awesome, but so, so cheesy.  Richard Chamberlain was a huge stud of many of them.
