Not the best of Will Ferrell, but has its moments

Rating: 6/10 (22 May 2010)

Will Ferrell has a knock for starring in sports comedies. This is the fourth one he has made. It is a comedic turn on a semi-professional basketball league that folds and where four teams from the semi-pro league get to join the NBA. It doesn't compare to Will Ferrell's other sports comedies such as Blades of Glory or Talladega Nights. Ferrell does a fine job, but he has done much better than this. I think if the story was a little more focused on the team and a little less focused on Ferrell or the league merger, this movie would have been better. Woody Harrelson also appears in this movie and does a fine job, but he has also done much better acting than this. It is worth renting at least once if you are a fan of Will Ferrell.
