Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The semifunny Semi-Pro is amiable enough, but you never feel there's much at stake.
– David Ansen,
Newsweek,
31 Mar 2008
rotten:
Judging from this low-scoring sports comedy about the mystique of men with balls, Will Ferrell needs to call a time-out from belly baring to refocus his fan-favorite game of playing clueless male doofuses.
– Lisa Schwarzbaum,

rotten:

– Richard Roeper,

fresh:
There are some ludicrous sight gags and uniquely silly, if foul-mouthed, laughs. The movie falters when it tries to be serious. Fortunately, those moments are few.
