In 1976, Jackie Moon (Will Ferrell) is a washed-up one-hit wonder who uses his brief moment of fame and fortune to buy a professional basketball team. He purchases the Flint Michigan Tropics, elevates himself to their top player and quickly transforms the team into the worst franchise in the fledgling ABA league. The Tropics are on the verge of being disbanded when the ABA folds into the NBA, so Jackie must rally his fellow players to actually win a game before they're forced to call it quits.
Will Ferrell's game is getting tired. Semi-Pro is Ferrell's forth foray into the sports genre. The same lame jokes that bombed in Blades of Glory are re-hashed here. Ferrell is slowly joining the "I'm Not Funny" club as its third member...Robin Williams and Whoopie Goldberg are getting lonely. Semi-Pro gets a "1".

What are you talking about by saying Will Ferrell is not funny! He is one of this decades greatest comedians! It's true, this film wasn't extremly funny but there were many laughs. And the lack of funny in this movie says nothing about Ferrell. If he stood on a stage for an hour saying nothing, I would be laughing in the first five seconds. He is one of the last actualy funny comedians and soon we will be left with unfunny ones like (Sigh) Frank Caliendo.
