Semi-Pro Movie Review and Trailer
That’s true of the whole movie. Basketball is a tall man’s game, but Semi-Pro is short and sweet. In his own way, Ferrell is doing today what Martin did 30 years ago : creating a kind of put-on comedy that invites everybody in

Semi-Pro will surely be a sensational movie on DVD for the boys’ nights out and it could also be a commercial success in theaters as the movie will attract the basketball fans. But next time, Ferrell could maybe change his “tune” as we know all his gags already.

Semi-Pro runs a scant 90 minutes, and still has trouble with dead spots
– filmcritic.com –
The problem with Semi-Pro is that it keeps forgetting it’s a parody of sports movies; the final scenes are supposed to be uplifting (sort of) but they’re not fooling anyone. The film’s much better when it just lets the guys gas and sass each other

What at least distinguishes Semi-Pro from its predecessors (not only those starring Ferrell, but also such lesser lights as “Dodgeball” and “Balls of Fury”) is that it’s a slightly darker movie–one made for grown-ups, hence the R rating
– village voice –
ultimately, we don’t purchase tickets to Will Ferrell movies for their sweeping romantic storylines, but because he makes us laugh. And Semi-Pro offers plenty of reasons to do so

Instead, we get “Mother, Jugs & Speed” on that marquee and wall-to-wall Average White Band and Ohio Players on the soundtrack. That doesn’t make “Semi-Pro” a great movie, but, to quote those sages the Brothers Johnson, it does get the funk out ya face for 86 minutes
