Semi-Pro


Rating: R
Genre: Comedy
Plot: Jackie Moon, coach of his basketball team the Flint Tropicals, is given word that there is going to be a merge of the ABA and the NBA, and only 4 teams of the ABA will be accepted to the NBA. His team is hopeless as they can't work together, and Jackie knows virtually nothing about basketball, he just had the money at one time to start the team. He is out of money and the team is out of luck, but they have to work hard to be in the top 4 teams that move on if they are to have any hope. A one time champion from the NBA joins the team to give them some hope, though he was always on the bench he is the only chance they have to make it into the NBA. Each team member has to develop throughout the movie to work as a team and do any good, and they are successful, though the ending may not be what you expect from the beginning.


My opinion: When I rented this movie, I was prepared to laugh the whole way through, and I was utterly disappointed with the movie over all. I did not find it that funny nor amusing. I actually had to turn it off for awhile because of how stupid it was, but I did eventually finish the movie. The movie had a few good parts that made me laugh, but it was really just a disaster. The movie is definitely only for mature audiences due to sexual humor/slang, partial nudity, and tons of profanity.


I give this movie a pitiful 1 pickle out of 5.
