Semi-Pro movie review.Posted Mar-03-08 09:36:04 PST Updated Mar-03-08 09:42:35 PST I am something of a Will Ferrell fan. I think Will Ferrell is funny; funny looking, funny sounding, and funny acting. He has the sports comedy movies on lockdown. He could play his man-child characters in his sleep at this point. Which is why he should take a break from sports comedies! In 'Semi-Pro' he plays a guy name Jackie Moon who as a hit song 'Love me Sexy' (which doesn't sound too bad actually) and uses his record sales money to buy a basketball team, The Flint Tropics. Yes. Flint. As in Flint, Michigan. Jackie Moon is hilarious in a QUADRUPLE role as owner/coach/player/promoter! Said team is in the ABA, the team that eventually got absorbed into the NBA. Problem is, the team only has one guy that is an actual skilled player (Andre '3000' of Outkast) looking to break into the NBA. Woody Harrelson gets thrown into the mix as the guy who will lead the team to the promise land. He won a Championship ring with the Celtics - but sat the bench the whole season. Since this movie takes place in the 1970s, it has a funky grooving soundtrack and great non-PC machoman dialogue. Insert a bunch of lewd jokes and there is your movie for 90 minutes. Defnitely wait for Netflix. Grade: C+ |
