SEMI PRO (2008)
SYNOPSIS
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.
