Semi-Pro
No consensus on Semi-Pro. Across 97 matchups it sits at 52% — exactly where 50% puts you, winning and losing in equal measure. Will Ferrell playing an ABA owner-coach-player in bell-bottoms is a love letter to the weirdest era in professional basketball, and the period details are more committed than any comedy this broad has a right to be. Voters pick in 1.8s on average — well under the 3.5s platform norm.
Synopsis
Jackie Moon is the owner, promoter, coach, and star player of the Flint Michigan Tropics of the American Basketball Association (ABA), the worst team in the league. In 1976 before the ABA collapses, the 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. If the Tropics want to make it to the NBA, Jackie Moon must rally his team and start winning.
Even round by round: 50% opening, 59% semis, 44% finals. The deadlock isn't just an overall average — it holds at every stage of the bracket.
Against The Basketball Diaries, the margin is razor-thin: 50%. The most contested matchup in Semi-Pro's record. Semi-Pro owns Inside Moves at 69% but Air Bud flips the script entirely: just 20%.
Basketball Movie Madness Part II - The Snubs is Semi-Pro's bracket: it clears the early rounds consistently but meets its ceiling in the final against Above the Rim (43%).
