Synopsis:

In 1976, the maverick ABA is a fast-paced, wild and crazy basketball league that rivals the NBA and makes a name for itself with innovations like the three-point shot and slam dunk contest. Jackie Moon is a one-hit wonder who used the profits from the success of his chart-topping song "Love Me Sexy" to achieve his dream of owning a basketball team. But Moon''s franchise, the Flint Michigan Tropics, is the worst team in the league and in danger of folding when the ABA announces its plans to merge with the NBA. If they want to survive, Jackie and the Tropics must now do the seemingly impossible--win.

Strengths:

•    Tim meadows is an outstanding comedic performer with amazing timing and when he is on the screen 
•    Arnett and Daly had fantastic chemistry and they both fit their characters perfectly

Flaws

•    The characters could have been reversed to make it a better comedy
•    When a focus character isn’t funny in a comedy; something has gone terribly wrong, the whole plot of the movie becomes useless and meaningless
•    Story of the movie is not too good, it could have been much much better.
