Synopsis

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.

I'll watch it on tv. Anchorman is legendary, by the way

I didn't get a chance to see this so I may rent it.

"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......

Oh how hideously wrong you are. Buying Alvin & The Chipmunks, are we?

It would be more like the 2-dick Let's get Sweaty edition.

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.

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.

Kyle Mertes

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.

I assume this going to be New Line's last big DVD release since they have now downsized to an independent studio?

Dustin P,

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 perfer the 2-Disc artwork, to be honest.

flyerboy

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

Emil Ryderup

No, Steev Carell is the bomb in Anchorman.. as Jason Mewes would have put it

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.

Brad Hamerly

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

Good Lord...

tanviper

wow, that was fast

shopboy

i didn't like the movie either

Edgeman05

Decent movie. 2 Disc Blu for me.

WeirdMeta

Wow! That was faster then you can say That Movie Really Sucked! lol

bobbywatson

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.

manuel87

this was fastttt

Quasar-modo

I can't wait to see what goofy sports movie Ferrell does next! Probably foosball!

lee09

That was quick... might Blu-ray it though.

GRJR721

horrendous film!!!

JosephNYC

I thought this movie was kinda funny. I wasn't looking forward to seeing it but I ended up having a good time.

Phil92

That cover scares me!

Wolfmother

2-disc unrated is really unnecessary.

elle_driver

What an awful movie!!! I usually really enjoy Will Farrell comedies, but this one had only one decent joke in it.

tom normandy

Passs!!

horrorfan25

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.

majeed

this went fast
