No, the flick isn’t about neck hair electrolysis. Instead, we’re talking about a serious subject in the SbB household: ABA basektball.

Cinematical: “In his next movie, Semi-Pro, he plays a failed basketball player who returns to the site of his former glory — his hometown of Flint, Michigan — to coach his old semi-pro team to the playoffs. It’s just like Roger and Me, with Ferrell as Michael Moore and basketball as the auto industry.”
We’ve never been one for an assist, but this time we’ll pass. Not because the concept is inept, but Ferrell’s fast-food approach to these sports comedies turns our stomach.
