Will Ferrell and his team in "Semi-Pro". Are they Pro? Just wait and see.Semi-Pro is a comedy directed by Kent Alterman and stars Will Ferrell. The story of this film is set in 1976, it sounds like this is a true story but it's not. From the beginning of the movie, it started with a song called "love me sexy" sing by Jackie Moon (Will Ferrell). Jackie Moon is a singer, and he used the profits from the song to form a basketball team in ABA (American Basketball Association). He formed his team and the team called the Flint Tropics. One day, the ABA commissioner has announces that the ABA will be merged with the NBA. He told Jackie that there is only 4 teams will be absorbed into the NBA and the rest of the league will terminate operations. Tropics, is the worst team in the league and is impossible to make it into the NBA. So, Jackie has to do something to make his team to reach the top 4 in the league. But after few days, the commissioner told Jackie that his team must also have a stable fan base and must have 2000 fans attend in every games of the season. So, having a great talent in promoting, he begins to promote his team by wearing animal suits, dancing at the basket ball court and others. Then they play the games to make their team to the top 4. From the first 10 minutes of the movie, I found out that this film is not really funny for me, the jokes are quite lame actually, but the movie started with the song "Love me sexy" and I like it very much, the lyric is very funny and because of this song, it cover up the joke which I think is not funny. Until now, I still thinking about this song. This movie has a goofy plot, when almost reaching the middle of the first half, the movie started to have fun and I laugh all the way until the end of the movie although some parts are stupid and gross. Besides that, I like the spirits of the Jackie Moon in the movie. He give his team a strong spirits, tell them how to teamwork with each others and also three words "ELE" which is "Every body love everybody". Will Ferrell who also act in "Blades Of Glory", he done a good job by giving the sense of humor in this film. His acting is nice but still not as great as in "Blades of Glory", he didn't use his full talent to give the audiences more surprises and it feels like some of the idea are already seen in his previous film. Overall, despite having a goofy plot, this movie is really funny and enjoyable. I really enjoy every minutes of this film.
