more >Will Ferrell stars in Semi-Pro, an outrageous comedy set in 1976 against the backdrop of the maverick ABA - a fast-paced, wild and crazy basketball league that rivaled the NBA and made a name for itself with innovations like the three-point shot and slam dunk contest. Ferrell plays Jackie Moon, a one-hit wonder who used the profits from the success of his chart-topping song "Love Me Sexy" to achieve his dream of owning a basketball team. But Moon's franchise, the Flint Michigan Tropics, is the worst team in the league and in danger of folding when the ABA announces its plans to merge with the NBA. If they want to survive, Jackie and the Tropics must now do the seemingly impossible - win.
Semi-Pro co-stars Woody Harrelson (Anger Management, White Men Can't Jump), Andre Benjamin (Four Brothers, music group Outkast), Maura Tierney, Will Arnett (Blades of Glory, "Arrested Development"), Andy Richter, Rob Corddry, DeRay Davis, Josh Braaten, Jay Phillips, and Jackie Earle Haley. The film is written by Scot Armstrong (Old School), directed by Kent Alterman, produced by Jimmy Miller, and will be released on February 29, 2008.

Not to succumb to stereotypes, but white people can’t play basketball. By that I mean white people the comedy group, not the race.
“If you have a small child, use it as a shield” – brilliant.

I work for a post-production company (which I will not name), so not only have I seen this wonderful film, but I’ve been fortunate enough to see all the dailies as well. I do like being able to eat and pay my rent, so I won’t give anything away, but let me just say that this one is really funny.

I just came back from seeing a screening of this. Once it is cut right this should be really funny. The cut I saw (still a working print mind you) have some really great parts. Will Arnett is amazing and Rob Cordry also does an awesome job. Should be a good one. Great trailer.
