Semi-Pro (Blu-ray Disc, 2008, 2-Disc Special Edition)

Will Farrell can't even make this movie all that good. The only thing this movie was missing was Woody Harrelson shooting a basketball with a rubber hand. This one has a few funny lines but overall there was too much of an attempt to make it a movie and not enough slap stick comedy.

I thought it was halarious! Will Ferell is probably my favorite actor because of this movie! I recommend you buy this!

It's a typical Will Farrell comedy, so if you like his other movies, you'll like this one. It's a stupid funny basketball movie.

This movie is a very funny comedy of the old ABA. Ferral is awesome. Special features are great too. BUY IT NOW

it was and ok movie if you like will fero i would say if you like to have some fun call some friends over and sit back and laffy your hart out it a good movie for a group of people it not very funny by your self other them tah t it was ok

i love the blyray dvd it was a goo price and i will buy more this from you any if what you are sell i want it

This type of movie reminds me a lot of King Pin or even Dodgeball but I guess there isn't but so many ways to write a story about the underdogs that somehow come out ahead in the end. This comedy uses the same formula as many others but the difference here is Ferrell and Harrelson. Overall it was entertaining and there was a few parts that made me laugh so I’ll have to say it was pretty good.

Will Farrel pleases audiences again with another hilarious film. Each scene is filled with humor ranging from a subtle 1-liner to laugh-out loud situations. The setting is perfect as the 70s allow for its own unique humor. The two-disc special enhances this movie and provides hours of outtakes, deleted scenes, and special features. Overall a great movie that any Will Farrel fan will love.

It is 1976 and the American Basketball Association (ABA) is on the cusp of sending four of their more profitable franchises to the National Basketball Association (NBA) (e.g, Denver Nuggets, Indiana Pacers, New York Nets, and San Antonio Spurs). However, entertainer, promoter, coach, player, and owner of the ABA’s Flint Michigan Tropics, Jackie Moon (Will Ferrell) is livid with such a proposition and instigates unrest among his fellow ABA owners—arguing that the four teams to be elevated upon the dissolution of the ABA should finish in the top four.

Moon’s proposition is granted, however, several stipulations are made along the way (e.g., the Tropics need to average 2000 patrons per home game, etc.) as the four teams elevated to the NBA need to show a stable fan base. The last place Tropics have a lot of work ahead of them and Jackie Moon takes the first step towards his Tropics 4th place goal by trading away his team’s washing machine to the Kentucky Colonels for guard Ed Monix (Woody Harrelson), a league journeyman and former backup point guard for the NBA Champion Boston Celtics.

Despite this new addition, the Tropics are still fundamentally unsound—largely due to Moon’s shenanigans and cheap gimmicks. Monix is elevated to “offensive and defensive coordinator” and the Tropics mettle is tested.

They are within one game of 4th place before ABA Commissioner (David Koechner) announces that because of the Tropics small media market, they will not be elevated to the NBA despite the potential outcome of their team’s standing.

Moon is devastated and trades away his star player and alias rich Clarence Withers A.K.A. Clarence Coffee Black A.K.A. Downtown "Funky Stuff" Malone A.K.A. Sugar Dunkerton A.K.A. "Jumping" Johnny Johnson (André Benjamin) to the San Antonio Spurs in order for him to realize his NBA dream.

Monix convinces Moon that though the Tropics NBA aspirations may have come to a close—their original 4th place goal is still within reach with a win against the Spurs. Jackie Moon is further revitalized when Monix says that he (Moon) still “has one more promotion left in him.”

Moon is in his element and concocts “The Megabowl”—yet another ambitious and outlandish promotion to fill up seats in the Tropics stadium—for the franchise’s final home game against the aforementioned Spurs.

The game is initially a laugher, as it seems as if the Spurs are going to run away with it in the first half. But Jackie Moon takes a nasty spill and is haphazardly carried to the locker room as he sold the team’s stretcher (it is unclear if it was halftime when Moon was injuries as when they returned to the court, it was already the start of the second half). Unconscious, Moon has an audience with his late mother who gives him the give of the “alley-oop.”

Armed with this new move, the Tropics turn to Clarence Coffee Black (Black leaves his Spurs teammates at halftime in order to rejoin the Tropics. HUH?) who makes a living of the Spurs inability to adjust defensively.

With two seconds remaining, the Spurs are still up by one. 116-117.

Moon is set to take two free throws and shoots them underhanded (ala Rick Barry of the San Francisco Warriors).

He makes the first.

Misses the second.

But Monix follows it up and put it a short floater.

Final score. 118-117.


Semi-Pro was certainly entertaining.

And I do love the game of basketball.

But not that much to watch this again…

fast shipping and it was free!!!!! great ebayer would and probably will do business with again!!!!!!

Semi-Pro nay noy be Ferrell's funniest movie, but it's still pretty good. This is an excellent disc. The picture quality continues New Line's streak of near flawless images. A great buy for any basketball fans or people who love cursing!

Another huge hit and original plot. I recommend buying this one because family, friends, and relatives will love seeing this. It's humorous and not as mature as other films. Give this one a try,

5 out of 5

I rented this movie from blockbuster and as soon as I saw it I wanted to own it. It is hilarious and my husband downloaded the "Love Me Sexy" song to our ipod. Thanks

this movie will have you laughing from start to finish. Will farrell does it again. Great supporting cast too. Storyline is what you would expect from a will farrell movie who has done a string of sport comedy movies from talladega nights to blades of glory (if you consider ice skating a sport) but this adds to the collection. Each movie is different in its own way which is good cause no one likes the same stuff. You will love this.

Regardless of what the other reviewer said (hated it but for some reason gave it a 3)this movie is absolutely great stuff if you like Ferrell. EVERY Will Ferrell film comes down to whether or not you like him, his acting, and his humor...if you do this movie will be a great addition to your collection. Classic sports action + adult humor and language = instant hit. Can't recommend it enough!
