United States | rogerebert.com | "Semi-Pro finds the sweet spot between sports melodrama and parody" | POS |
United States | The Hollywood Reporter | "The comedy is sloppy, crude and contains far too many misfires, but the film does capture the old ABA spirit in its ungainly struggles to wrestle laughs from seriously mediocre material" | NEU |
United States | USA Today | "Definitely more than semi-funny." | POS |
United States | AV Club | "Deserves credit for attempting something more emotional and dramatic than the typical Ferrell gagfest" | NEU |
United States | ReelViews | "Instead of a satire, they give us a tired, tedious victory-for-the-underdog story, and the unevenness of Ferrell's comedy makes it less appealing" | NEG |
Canada | The Globe and Mail | "Ferrell is to the sports comedy what the Toronto Maple Leafs are to the hockey biz: Hard-core fans are sure to show up and find reasons to be amused. The rest of us can only hope for better days." | NEU |
