Semi-Pro (DVD, 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.

As a fan of the old ABA and a fan of Will Ferrell I was hoping for a great funny movie. I was dissapointed. The language was filthy, the story was poor and the ABA was treated like it was some type of circus. I had purchased the 2-disc set which had a documentary on the old ABA which was great. The rest of the movie was terrible.

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

This is not the funniest of Will's work, but it's up there.
The jumpshots are long and the shorts are short!
Needing to win a game for the big leagues, Will needs to get back into really playing basketball to make it into the NBA.
Laugh out loud action.

Take the cutting room jokes in Anchor Man, a not funny Woody Harrelson, and the inability to take jokes far enough to make them funny....and you have Semi-Pro.

A few cheap laughs here and there and a bare chested Will Ferrill weren't enough to keep me awake during this poorly written failure of a comedy. Co-non stars weren't funny and the direction reminded me of any given college films.

When the openings credits started to the 70's sexual funk sung by Ferrill I thought I was in for a good time. 10 minutes later I was looking at my watch hoping for a phone call to have an excuse to relieve myself of this dull, thrown together, forgettable flick. With so much material to reference to - Short shorts, Afros, mustaches, and over the top announcers you would think there would be more comedy than a few masturbation jokes.

The only thing that saves this flick from receiving a 'below average' rating would be Ferrill himself.....and that's about it.

Save this one for a rental when you have time to consume plenty of alcohol before viewing.

Great if you like the Ad-libbed style of Wil Ferrel but a pretty stupid storyline. Worth Seeing for will ferrel

Clasiic Will Ferrel flick. Not his best but had its funny parts. Liked the plot and the actors, would recommend.

Was a little too corny for me and very predictable!! Although Will Ferrell is a vary funny comedian turned actor,i just thought his role in the movie Semi pro was a stretch.As a former Pro basketball player myself,i just found it to be too predictable!
