Hammerton (UK) 0 out of 2 found this review helpful If you're a Will Ferrell fan then you'll laugh loudly all the way through this movie. Typical antics and tantrums. Well worth watching. Enjoy. Hilarious June 16, 2008 archaeology student (United Kingdom) I've seen a lot of Ferrell movies and thought that hes been off his game the last couple, but this is absolutely hilarious, a complete return to his old form. Its got all the same sort of slap stick jokes you'll be used to with Ferrell, but this time they're done to perfection. You'll belly laugh from beginning to end. A Ferrell Favourite! A Sporting Comedy! June 20, 2008 Matthew Wilson (Cumbria, UK) Before watching this: My first idea was that this movie was going to be unfunny, childish humour, just another pay packet to Will Ferrell. br / br /Watching this: When the opening credits started, I still had my doubts, but within the first 10 minutes, I had laughed a couple of times. As the film progressed, I found myself enjoying it more and more. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and thought it was a simple yet effective story line. br / br /If you enjoyed 'Talladega Nights: The Legend of Ricky Bobby', you'll love this more! So Seventies, so funny and a real gem surprisingly!!! July 13, 2008 Mr. G. Bridgeman-clarke (Rayleigh UK) 7 out of 8 found this review helpful Now in my opinion Will Farrell is over exposed in movies. I can't recall one week at the cinema where Will Farrell has not starred in a film. Ok its great for him money-wise but its overkill. I therefore reluctantly sat down to watch this film and was so pleased i did. The action is fast and unlike most American films about their sports of baseball, Amercan football and basketball, you really do not need to have a knowledge of basketball to follow this story. br / br /Its the usual formula, small town with rubbish team and owner who has no idea how to run affairs, then lo and behold their sign a player who in years previous was a star player and he has fallen on hard times. can they get to the play-offs and get promoted to the Major Leagues. yes its a well written formula and we have all seen it, but in this case the film rocks. Its hilarious watching the scams the owner (Will Farrell) has to get people through the turnstiles and, of course their team's star player is, you guessed it Will Farrell. Not because he is any good but rather he owns the team so he has to have the ball. br / br /The film changes when the team know they could go out of business and the new star player Woody Harrelson, turns over a new leaf and starts coaching the team. br / br /Its light- hearted and very funny in places and so 70's. Like watching the TV series of Starsky and Hutch at times. br / br /I liked it and it is a real gem. If you are, like me fed up with then over-exposure of Will Farrell, please do not let that stop you watching this hilarious film. You may love this sexy....... July 18, 2008 Dino Amore' (Hadleigh, Essex) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful This film is funnier than I thought it would be, but is not quite one of Ferrells best. I really enjoyed the 70's vibe, which they captured perfectly, and loved Ferrell and the cast mugging for all they were worth. Yes the plot is formulaic, sometimes stupid, and Maura Tierney is criminally under-used,but the film has a lot of heart, laughs at itself, is feel-good, and has enough laugh out loud moments to justify a night in watching it. br /The theme tune is fantastic, too........!!
