Thankgod it was short!!!!!
Jackie Moon (Will Ferrell) is the owner, promoter, coach, and star player of the Flint Michigan Tropics of the American Basketball Association (ABA). In 1976 before the ABA collapses, the National Basketball Association (NBA) plans to merge with the best teams of the ABA at the end of the season. Only the top four teams will make the move and the worst teams will fold. The Tropics are the worst team in the league and if they want to make it to the NBA, Jackie Moon must rally his team and start winning. The only problem with that scenario is the fact that Jackie Moon is not really the coach and star basketball player he thinks he is. He was able to buy the Tropics franchise with proceeds that he had earned from his hit song Love Me Sexy. To keep his team from oblivion and leave his mark in the city, Jackie Moon must inspire his team to win fourth place in the playoffs. Jackie trades a washing machine to another team for a former NBA bench warmer, Monix (Woody Harrelson) to reach his goal. This was Monix's last season before he retires, and he wants to go out in a blaze of glory.
I did laugh my heart out for about 5 straight minutes of the 90min's but besides that Will Ferrell is ending his run. Please do some more serious work like Stranger than Fiction because the jokes are wearing thin. If I had to watch another guy's tight pants stretched to show a crotch shot I was going to walk out. It was funny in Blades of Glory but it's toilet humor and OLD. He is kind of the same character over and over again and was hoping it was much funnier than it actually was. My friend loved it but he is 18 - does this mean I am turning cynical and my sense of humor is waning. I don't think so - I still wet myself when I watch the masters of toilet trash humor in South Park but this was just BORING.
There were some fine moments, it has a few but not enough to carry it to full time. Monix comes back to town and accepts his trade for a washing machine because his ex flame Lynn (Maura Tierney) still lives in the town. Lynn's new boyfriend doesn't care that they are falling in love because he loves Monix so much. He even sits at a table watching them have sex and gets VERY excited about it. This 3 way character comedy is good and this film made me realise how much I miss Woody Harrelson. I hope he gets off the marijuana support trail and starts doing what he does best - MORE acting.
This sporting film even has the odd couple of sports announcers we are all so used to. They had some medium funny bits and the scene with the gun is quite funny but SSSSSSSOOOOOOOO predictable - I was screaming - just bloody go off.
The best scene is when the bear starts attacking Jackie Moon - he was trying to tell you something about the film Will!!!
This film is worth $2- and only because it was good to see Woody back on the screen!! Skip it at the movies, maybe miss it on DVD and perhaps wait until you are sick and dying in bed or stoned out of your head when it's on free to air TV.
