Semi-Pro

Synopsis - In 1976, the maverick ABA is a fast-paced, wild and crazy basketball league that rivals the NBA and makes a name for itself with innovations like the three-point shot and slam dunk contest. Jackie Moon is a one-hit wonder who used the profits from the success of his chart-topping song "Love Me Sexy" to achieve his dream of owning a basketball team. But Moon's franchise, the Flint Michigan Tropics, is the worst team in the league and in danger of folding when the ABA announces its plans to merge with the NBA. If they want to survive, Jackie and the Tropics must now do the seemingly impossible--win.

Review - Well its Will Ferrell and he has chosen basketball as his new sports and this is a rather fresh take on basketball films. There are no jordans involved, no Nike or Adidas. Instead, throw in plenty of Afros and music and you get a really funky retro 70's comedy. Loved the jersey they wore and Will Ferrell's lame antics. Hysterical at times but if you short on cash, guess its better to download haha.
