bowmanblue I always find that Will Ferrell's films can be a little hit and miss. He's either funny, or he tries a little too hard to be funny. Luckily, in the case of 'Semi-Pro,' he's the former. The film is clearly his vehicle, so whether it works or not is largely down to him. Here he plays Jackie Moon – the owner, coach and player of a low league basketball team who are about to get disbanded, unless they can scrape fourth place in the league.For a start, you don't have to know or like basketball. I know nothing about it, but I enjoyed the film anyway. Yes, Ferrell is a little over the top here and there, but his performance never really borders on 'annoying.' It's not a long film, only an hour and a half, and most of it is packed with gags (all pretty adult in nature) and the majority of those work.There are minor plot lines, but they're all secondary to Ferrell. Most other characters are only there to tee up Ferrell for him to deliver the punch line. Woody Harrelson is about the second most important character and he has a little more screen time. He's totally functional too, but Semi-Pro is still Ferrell's baby.Basically, Semi-Pro won't win any awards. It's daft, loud and dumb, but ultimately very watchable if you're in the mood for a film like that.Just beware of escaped bears!

FilmBuff1994 Semi-Pro is a good movie with a decent storyline and a great comedic cast.While I will admit it is not a fantastic or outstanding comedy movie,it is still enjoyable and discern't deserve the harsh reviews it received,I thought there were several very funny scenes,it certainly isn't Will Ferrell's finest film but it's not terrible.I also appreciated several other very funny actors in this movie,Will Arnett,Andy Richter and André Benjamin were very funny and I really enjoyed the scenes with Woody Harrelson,Maura Tierney and Rob Corddry,they were so ridiculous but that's what made it so funny.Semi-Pro is nothing outstanding,but it's an enjoyable comedy that I would recommend to anyone looking for a quick comedy to kill some time.

Ari Wilkins It is a great move and just another addition to will Ferrel's long list of funny movies. I have heard a lot of people say it's to silly, but what do you expect it's will Ferrel. If thats not your type of movie then i guess your probably not going to like it. But if you have found will Ferrel funny in the past you will love this it is a classic comedy filled with classic moments. Obviously it is about basketball and if you like basketball and also like a good laugh now n' again then you will watch this over and over and over and over again. Very funny film!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!! !! !!!!!!!! !!!! Watch this film!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !! !!!!! !!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!! !!!!! !!!!!! !!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!! !!!!! !!! !!!!!!!! !!!!!!!! !!!!!!! !!!!! !!!!! !!!!! !!!! !!! !!!!!!! ! !!!!! !!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!! !!!! !!!!!! !! !!! !!!!!!! !!!! !! Sorry you have to make 10 lines and I couldn't be bothered writing more so I just filled it with exclamation marks.

KineticSeoul For a few minutes into it, I thought it was going to be at least better than "Blades of Glory" but I was wrong. This was just stupid without the humor in it, it seems to try overly hard in order to be funny...But it just isn't. Will Ferrell just acts like a obnoxious idiot that is cocky, in another words it's the same acting he played in many other roles in his past. His past movies were okay, but it seems like they aren't trying any more and just put Will Ferrell in a sports movie thinking he is going to carry the film, but it just doesn't work. And like many of his other roles he does random stuff to be funny, except this time they over do it a lot. First half was okay and than it's just plain boring. Rental at best.4.3/10
