Great comedic spoof of the 70s American Basketball Association
Semi-Pro was an excellent spoof of the American Basketball Association (ABA) that was in business from 1967-76. The league was known for its flashy play and financial troubles. In 1976 it merged with the National Basketball Association. All of those are included in the movie.<br /><br />It focuses upon The Flint, Michigan Tropics who are owned by Jackie Moon (Will Ferrell). He is also the team’s starting power forward. He knows little about basketball, but he’s an amazing promotor. When the ABA announces that it will merge with the NBA and only four teams will continue Moon has a fit threatening to fight the other owners. Then he comes up with a proposal that the teams with the four best records should join the NBA. The movie then focuses upon whether the Tropics can make the top four. They trade their washing machine for Monix (Woody Harrelson) who won a championship with the Celtics, but is now on the downside of his career. He tries to shape the team’s star Clarence (Andre 3000) into a complete player. There’s also great play by play by Dick Pepperfield (Andy Daly) and Lou Redwood (Will Arnett).<br /><br />The movie plays upon all the highs and lows the ABA was known for. Many of the teams struggled with fans which is true for the Tropics. During the opening game Pepperfield and Redwood say neither has been paid as a result. Moon tries everything to bring in people including having a bear fight, and doing a roller skating jump off a ramp over his cheerleaders. The ABA was also known for its innovations. It started the dunk contest and brought the 3-point shot to the NBA. In the movie it has the Tropics doing the first alley-oop.<br /><br />Semi-Pro also has a great soundtrack of 70s Soul and Funk tunes. It really helps capture the times the movie is set in.<br /><br />The film is hilarious. During the bear fight it escapes the cage. Moon tells the crowd to grab a young child and put it in front of them for protection. During a game Moon gets a concussion and dreams that he’s going to heaven where he sees his mom who turns out to be singer Patti LaBelle. It’s really worth a watch.<br />C
