About
You’ll probably enjoy Semi-Pro if you like over-the-top, adult sports comedy with big antics and underdog momentum; Not for you if you want smart, original humor or steady laugh density like Beer League or Old School.
Pros: plenty of laughs; R-rated silliness; energetic sports premise | Cons: uneven humor; formulaic beats; some jokes miss
