Written by Scot Armstrong ( “Old School”) and led by newcomer Kent Alterman, “Semi-Pro” is a fiction ABA team of Flint, Michigan, under the direction of Jackie Ferrell’s Moon, a singer affected owners, trainers and they go. He does not have much of a story, even if just a series of gags and comedy bit that we in the Tropics “last season.

New Line will be very well with this film, which will Ferrell and the fans of basketball, including those who have good memories of this red, white and blue ball. The comedy is bâclée, crude and contains too many duds, but the film does not capture the spirit of the old ABA interfering in its fight to curb the laughter seriously ill. After a modest career theatrical improvisation, “Semi-Pro” is probably one of the boys night on DVD.

In 1976, the ABA’s last season was a “merger” with the creation of NBA, before the dissolution of the League Against a great reward for its owners and its four franchises more success in the NBA - Dr. J’s New York Nets, Denver Nuggets , San Antonio Spurs and Indiana Pacers. Since the large moon, when elastic ego is completely in line with its tropical Flint - “Let’s get tropical!” — It is overwritten by this decision.
He asks that the four best, financially no longer managed, how the franchise in the NBA, the ABA commissioner agreed time. This leads to what is little history in “Semi-Pro” - the search for an underdog team to finish fourth, under the direction of Jackie the last purchase, an old Celtics benchwarmer appointed Monix (Woody Harrelson).

The bulk of the film is, however, with Jackie waterfalls, no promotion, a mid-three-point, a fan for an amount of $ 10,000 (Jackie who do not have) corndog nights (he has not always) and the Bear Fight. Or the night-team all players have the stitches eye-liner, that the world through the eyes or the night of the big brawl with opposing team during a TV commercial break. Or the poker game, where the unloading of weapons in the game that proved to be a ball in one room. Well, you get the picture.

The play-by-Play Announcers are quite funny, but on what the radio station obscenity never be allowed? This, as well as most others in the film, is part of the trail to laugh at the expense of logic and predictability. For example, a person who is from the audience even imagine that it is not at least one ball, in this gun?

Ferrell, Harrelson and musician-actor Andre Benjamin, plays this laissez-passer for the tropics “star, hold lowbrow comedy and sympathetic, even if the reality of laughter are rare. A story of love between Harrelson and Maura Tierney, whose friend is a big fan of Monix, is unhelpful, suffering and even a little boring. Idem operating gag, with a stoner, played by Jackie Earle Haley and try to collect $ 10000 for a price. The fight is not a little laugh, but.

Behind-the-scenes staff make the movie as a film of the 70-iger years with the band of their era insistence of the music, the lighting is low and uneven policy levels.
