First of all, and one may not know that, but the premise of the movie, the merger of the ABA and the NBA, is actually is a real fact. If you are a basketball fan, you will be pleasantly surprised by that side of the story.
The 70's universe is very refined: looks, clothes, etc., and a special attention has been given to the soundtrack. Esthetically, Alterman met the challenge.
The script is very classic with no real surprise. Everything unfolds smoothly but in a false rhythm that struggles to fully catch the attention of the viewer.
The humour is very uneven and most of the gags fall flat. The absurd aspect characterizing Ferrell isn't that noticeable, maybe because he wasn't part of the writing team.
