White Men Can't...
Great 83 Points 1992

Ron Shelton made White Men Can’t Jump after Bull Durham and before Tin Cup. His sequence of great sports movies is thus baseball, basketball, golf. This middle one – his hoops hit – nailed the J with its title, even if the rest veers from perfection.

Semi-Pro
Good 85 Points 2008

Semi-Funny. Worth seeing if you like basketball, Will Ferrell silliness, and/or 1970’s nostalgia.

Essentially an extended SNL skit with big screen production values, Semi-Pro proves again that the Willster has perfected the art of mining his capacious id for extended comic benefit. While…
