Movie: Semi-Pro

Semi-Pro, Will Ferrell's homage to the wild, afro-picked splendor of the short-lived American Basketball Association finds him embodying yet another larger-than-life hunk-a-burnin' love in the form of Jackie Moon, R&B singer-turned-owner/player/ coach of the hapless Flint, Mich., Tropics. As sports movies go, Semi-Pro's story should be more than familiar to even the most casual fan. The Tropics are a lackluster franchise that place good times and flash over winning. However, when the league announces that they will be merging with the NBA and only taking the top four teams along, the Tropics buckle down and give true ballin' a shot.
