Semi Pro is a Slam Dunk!

Rating: 8/10 (1 March 2008)

Semi-Pro is the new comedy from Will Ferrell...and it scores a 8 out of 10 just like his previous outing, Blades of Glory. He returns to spots comedies....again and nails what the 70's were:Bad hair,cheesy music and promoting sports events. In this film, Ferrell plays Jackie Moon...a singer who cranked out a hit single and with that money, buys a cheap team called the Flint Michigan Tropics. He is the coach/promoter/player, but mostly the promoter. Andre' Benjamin plays Clarence "Coffee Black" and Woody Harelson(hope i spelled right) plays Moanix. The beginning starts out very strong and keeps you laughing. There are some parts where this film is slow....but these parts are few and far between. All the characters in this film will grow on you and are very well developed. The ending was a great finish to this movie, but if it was in any other movie, it would have been unacceptable. I was able to catch the 2:40 showing, so if there are any other showings today...don't even hesitate. If you like Will Ferrell, go see this. If you love Will Ferrell, go see this. If your curious, go see this. Specific Rating(based out of 5 stars) ACTING:*** PLOT:*** MUSIC:**** CHARACTERS:**** ENDING:**** OVERALL:8 out of 10/Because of some slow weak parts,but otherwise...this movie is great fun,and a great afternoon or evening laugh.
