Another Ferrell sports romp gets a little played-out

Rating: 5/10 (21 January 2011)

This movie is a pretty good venture for Will Ferrell and his cast of well- known actors playing somewhat comedic roles. The main element of comedy in the movie is the stupidity of Ferrell's character, Jackie Moon, an independent basketball team owner/coach and former music one-hit-wonder with his song "Love Me Sexy." His sports-themed movies are pretty much all the same, and this being the fourth sports movie he's done, it didn't really add anything to what has been done in his past movies. I think the funniest part in the movie was when he thought it would be a good idea for his team to wear eye shadow to freak out the other team and the craziness that ensues. For the most part, I liked the movie, but if it were in my DVD collection, I'd probably overlook it most of the time. The concepts are funny on their own, but Ferrell ends up playing a very needy, confused individual that gets annoying after awhile.
