Extras on the 2-disc will include 4 featurettes (Love Me Sexy – The Story Behind the One-Hit-Wonder, Recreating the American Basketball Association (ABA), Four Days in Flint, The Man Behind Semi-Pro), behind the scenes footage with Bill Walton, Bob Costas and “Dick Pepperfield”, a “Love Me Sexy” music video, and trailers.

Quote: 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.

Wasn't this in theaters February 29? Man quick announcement. But seriously another 2 disc unrated? And to be honest the 1 disc looks better than the 2 disc artwork.
Passs!!
What an awful movie!!! I usually really enjoy Will Farrell comedies, but this one had only one decent joke in it.
2-disc unrated is really unnecessary.
That cover scares me!
I thought this movie was kinda funny. I wasn't looking forward to seeing it but I ended up having a good time.
horrendous film!!!
That was quick... might Blu-ray it though.
I can't wait to see what goofy sports movie Ferrell does next! Probably foosball!
this was fastttt
Enough is enough.
The dull Box Office results shows people are quickly getting tired of the Ferrell shtick. I think the man deserves to be put in good director films, not vehicles for his (constantly decaying) comedic timing...
Ultra-quick announcement, by the way.

Wow! That was faster then you can say That Movie Really Sucked! lol
Decent movie. 2 Disc Blu for me.
i didn't like the movie either
wow, that was fast
Good Lord...
Another unfunny movie from Will Ferrell. Since this movie is a flop, I just hope that Will goes back to movies like ''Anchorman'' and ''Old School'' where he was actually funny. His upcoming movie ''Step Brothers'' is a step in the right direction.
the movie was the worst of Ferrells comedies.. BUT still better than most comedies! I dont like the artwork for the 2 disc, because, if you've seen the movie, REALLY, Ferrell is a supporting character
I'll be getting this on BD, even though the reviews have been terrible. I haven't seen "Anchorman" yet, but "Blades of Glory" is my favorite Will Ferrell movie so far. I didn't care for "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby", however.

"Anchorman"?!?!? Are you serious?!?! That was one of the most unfunny movies I have ever seen in my life! What a total bore that was... Zzzzz......

No, Steev Carell is the bomb in Anchorman.. as Jason Mewes would have put it
this movie was a good time, wasnt as bad as people say it was, there wasnt a time in the movie where i was sinking in my seat so i would say it was an enjoyable film
I perfer the 2-Disc artwork, to be honest.
I am not now or will I ever find Will Ferrell funny...his brand of humor is obnoxious and he is so full of himself like he knows all his movies will be a hit and they ain't always gonna be. Eventually are going to get sick of this man, cause he truly isn't funny. And the 'Let's Get Sweaty Edition', so lame.
I assume this going to be New Line's last big DVD release since they have now downsized to an independent studio?
I can't stand the man. The previews for this one grossed me out.
The only film I have ever watched in its entirety and enjoyed with him in is "Stranger than Fiction." His other movies can go through my super duper deluxe paper shredder with the CD cutting slot where a few other 'incriminating' music CD's and DVD's have 'slipped off' my desk and fallen into its hungry jaws.

Wow ?I must see this movie. I can't believe all the people who don't like it. I think it looks good and i don't like basketball at all. Oh well I'll rent it... I like Will Ferrell but I do think he is better in smaller doses.
"-Disc Lets Get Sweaty Edition" sounds like a special edtion for a porno movie
Hmm I was sure they would have gone with a subtitle like The 2 Disc Love Me Sexy Edition... Probably would have, but I guess sexy is just so darn provocative to have on the cover of a dvd... Out goes Sexy, in goes Sweaty. 
I liked this one, not up to par with his other films, but he still brings the funny IMO. Last hilarious full effort Ferrell film in my opion would be Talladega Nights. Hope to see him return to form soon.
This was still miles better than that oh so disappointing p.o.s. Walk Hard... Ugh.
