Great movie but not that bad either

Rating: 6/10 (26 August 2009)

Semi-Pro is a great movie but not that bad either, which isn't saying much because there is not much to say about this movie. It's not offensive, it has its funny moments, but it's not going to become part of the pantheon of great Hollywood classics. Its rated R and has lots has foul languages (many F-bombs). The movie has its funny moments and really weird moments. Funny moments were the poker scene, bear fighting scene, and possibly the last basketball game match between the tropics and spurs. There are some wack and unnecessary scenes like the hippy (dukes his name) wining $2000 and the vomit scene. I liked the performance of Andre Banjamin as Clearance "Coffee" Black and the broadcasters. IMO, Monix's plot was needed, they made it too extra. The beginning was alright but the end was great.
Entertaining, yes! Inspirational? No. A masterpiece? Definitely not. One other point: this movie is during the 1970s (1976) so that's why the players have afro's, and short-shorts.
Altogether this movie was pretty good but could have been much better, especially the very last scene (how the movie ended), it could have been better. It seemed very rushed
