Entertaining but not the instead Classic Comedy... we would expect from Farrell.

Rating: 8/10 (11 February 2009)

Jackie Moon (Will Farrell) is the owner of a basketball team in Flint, Michigan. His team are called " The Flint Tropics". He brought the team after his one hit disco song "Love Me Sexy". But his team aren't that good, in fact... they are awful. Expect for one player (Andre Benjamin), who has raw talent for the game. Jackie is also the coach as well, which he isn't very good at it as well. Although Jackie is great as a Promoter. Jackie has a chance for his team to play for the real NBA. He decides to trade the team's washing machine to get a seasoned but fading player (Woody Harrelson). Since this pro basketball player knows the game better than Jackie. He decides to help them get into shape and have their chance in the big time.
Directed by Kent Alterman made an amusing, jokey, retro-70's comedy. Some of the cast members seems to be having an great time. This movie does really tries to be profane as "Slap Shot" but not as memorable or hilarious from that 1970's classic. Also it is nowhere near as good like "Anchorman" or "Step Brothers", which are two of Farrell's best films for example. All the cast members have their moments, especially Andrew Daly and Will Arnett as Sports Commentors. Die Hard fans of Farrell will find a lot to enjoy this silly comedy. Also available in a two-disc unrated edition. Super 35. (*** 1/2 out of *****).
