The Top 40 Basketball Movies - #33 Semi-Pro
Will Ferrell comedy as an owner coach player (Jackie Moon) of the 76' ABA Flint Tropics. It's definitely not his best work, both the actor and the character. Woody Harrelson (Monix) joins him for a bit of added drama, romance and actual basketball to the movie. Also Andre from Outkast is here. Fairly large cast of Tim Meadows, Andy Richter, Will Arnett, Rob Corddry, Jackie Earle Haley and David Koechner. Not one of my rewatched movies, yet I think I own it so go figure. I think we feel too sorry for both Jackie Moon and Monix to really be laughing. There is a grizzly bear appearance who later killed a man (not on this movie). Comedies are hard and subjective to rank. I can rank this movie 24 and still say it's not that funny and Ferrell might be trying too hard here. It's possible it belongs around the 36 range opposed to 20s, but this seems like a fair spot for it.
