Semi pro prolly isn’t the worst basketball movie, but it might be the worst Will Ferrell movie which is saying something lol

Not even close. I think you are really underestimating how bad many Will Ferrell movies there are.

This is so bad on so many levels i can't believe it was actually made. At no point did anyone in the production crew say "ehm guys... what are we doing here?"

I was so hyped for this movie after it had been rumored for years.

And of course, the first one is a classic.

Watching the sequel was incredibly painful and sad — such a letdown.

The story was bad, there were too many lame jokes and even the Warner Bros. crossovers were poorly done.

It's like instead of trying to make the movie as good as possible, they tried to make it as bad as possible.

This is one of the greatest basketball scenes of all time. Any scene where Halle Berry's butt is a focal point should be nominated for all movie awards. 1:11 mark for reference.

Blue Chips might be the most underrated basketball film ever. That one is fantastic.

I have to agree on both of them. While it's really bad I'm not sure if Ernest is the worst though.

But Blue Chips is awesome, definitely one of my favorite basketball movies ever.

How dare you mock a movie that has Julius Erving, Flip Wilson, and Jonathan Winters in it.

Evidently you did not live through the disco era. Lots of bad movies.

Oh yah, but I give a thumbs up to the original Flubber.

Came out around the same time as The Air Up There which a lot of people hate but I thought it wasn’t that bad.

Funny, I literally just watched this last night. I saw this movie in the theaters when it came out. It is a fun movie not meant to be taken seriously. Like 'Major League' for basketball but obviously not nearly as good. Young people don't understand what a superstar Dr. J and Kareem were back in the day. Even in a struggling league they were showtime.

Same here. I haven’t seen it in full in my adult life but my late dad was a Dr J fan and watched it dozens of times.
