Three men, three dreams. It's 1976 in Flint, Michigan. Jackie Moon's American Basketball Association team languishes in last place, with few fans in the seats. Jackie dreams of a merger with the NBA. A tough-minded point guard named Monix is at the end of his career; he's played on the champion Celtics but accepts a trade to Flint to be close to Lynn, the love of his life. Clarence "Coffee" Brown dreams of stardom: he's the Tropics' best player, but he's a hotdog who doesn't value teamwork. When the trio learns that a merger is in the works that won't include the Tropics, they pull the team together to try to achieve the impossible. Can dreams come true in Flint?

Review :
Will Ferrell doesn't do rated R that well
In the immortal words of Charles Barkley: "That was turrible."
They completely overdid the profanity and it just wasn't funny. Profanity in moderation can actually enhance the humor of a movie, but when used indiscriminately it just becomes obnoxious. Besides the overuse of cuss words I found myself left hanging while waiting for a punchline, especially after the abnormally loooong and very unfunny poker scene. I kept waiting for the punchline and there was none. When the scene ended I was just confused. It was like the movie had to be a certain length and this was needed to fill space.
I was very disappointed with this Will Ferrell project. Don't get me wrong, there were some funny lines and some funny scenes but by and large it was a flop. I see why he so quickly followed this movie up with "Step Brothers". I certainly hoped his latest movie is better.
