I just don't understand why so many of the characters in Semi-Pro were so serious. Maura Tierney really just sits around without much to really do, and even Andre Benjamin's character is made too serious to give us any laughs. Woody Harrelson does a fine job in Semi-Pro but he's never funny, all because the script makes his character Monix serious instead of funny. The rest of the cast includes Outkast's talented Andre Benjamin, Maura Tierney, and Will Arnett and Andrew Daly as two hilarious TV show hosts and broadcasters for the Tropics.

There's also a song played through the movie sung by Jackie Moon called 'Love Me Sexy', and it is as funny a song as Will Ferrell can bring. The music in Semi-Pro is awesome with its funky 70s soundtrack.

My favorite moment in Semi-Pro is when Jackie Moon gets called on a foul by the ref (Also the church priest), and Jackie yells in his face an obscenity and 'I'll kill your family!' Another scene that will end up a Will Ferrell classic is when he wrestles a bear, and it ends up attacking him and then getting loose in the stadium. Semi-Pro seems undercooked in the hilarious gag department offering a few very funny moments, but the rest of the movie only has little jokes that usually only offer giggles. Semi-Pro is a funny film but it's really only semi-funny, whereas the rest of Ferrell's movies were hilarious romps. I haven't seen all of them but I heard they were all funny, mostly because of Will Ferrell's comedic brilliance. Whether it be Anchorman, Talladega Nights, Blades of Glory, and Old School. Will Ferrell has made a bunch of funny movies already. From there on in it's up to Jackie, Monix, and the whole team to fire up some wild and crazy events for the crowd and actually learn to play the sport properly for once in order to reach their dreams. So Jackie hires a new team player named Monix (Woody Harrelson) who actually used to play for the NBA. The problem is that the Tropics do a little more dancing, fighting, and flailing around the court than actually playing the game. However Jackie is told that in order to actually have a chance at getting into the NBA, the Tropics have to get at least 2000 fans in their stadium by deadlines. The head coach, owner, and promoter is Jackie Moon (Will Ferrell) and he and his team dream of expanding to be part of the big time NBA. Semi-Pro takes place in the 1970s and is all about a small time basketball team named the Flint Michigan Tropics.
