Don't let me down again, Will.

Will Ferrell stars in Semi-Pro, an outrageous comedy set in 1976 against the backdrop of the maverick ABA - a fast-paced, wild and crazy basketball league that rivaled the NBA and made a name for itself with innovations like the three-point shot and slam dunk contest. Ferrell plays Jackie Moon, a one-hit wonder who used the profits from the success of his chart-topping song "Love Me Sexy" to achieve his dream of owning a basketball team. But Moon's franchise, the Flint Michigan Tropics, is the worst team in the league and in danger of folding when the ABA announces its plans to merge with the NBA. If they want to survive, Jackie and the Tropics must now do the seemingly impossible - win.

Semi-Pro co-stars Woody Harrelson (Anger Management, White Men Can't Jump), Andre Benjamin (Four Brothers, music group Outkast), Maura Tierney, Will Arnett (Blades of Glory, "Arrested Development"), Andy Richter, Rob Corddry, DeRay Davis, Josh Braaten, Jay Phillips, and Jackie Earle Haley. The film is written by Scot Armstrong (Old School), directed by Kent Alterman, produced by Jimmy Miller, and will be released on February 29, 2008.

I'm copying Swami's post from the movie review thread here because this thread is very lonely.


Semi-Pro

I have not seen this movie. No one has. But here's a link to the R-Rated NSFW trailer, and it's hilarious. I think a WTF field trip is in order.

Who's paying for this field trip? Whose parents will volunteer as chaperones? Where are we going to eat lunch? Are we taking the bus?

Was that scene when he tells the ref to suck his cock and he's going to murder his family based on Darko?

I'm really looking forward to this movie. I may even go see it in the movie theater and not just wait for it to come out on Netflix.

Poor Tim Meadows gets the shaft, again.

Also, one of the players on the Flint Tropics looks like he's supposed to be Sheed.
