Trivia:

Will Ferrell has stated that this would be his last sports-related comedy.

Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the beginning, announcer Dick Pepperfield says "That little kid from the Jackson 5, he scares me too. Oh mark my words, Lou, there is something creepy about that young man." He may have been referring to Randy Jackson, the youngest (14 or 15), shortest, and only child member of The Jacksons. The Jackson 5 disbanded in 1975, and reformed as The Jacksons in 1976. Youngest sibling Randy replaced Jermaine, who left for a solo career. In 1976, Michael Jackson, the lead singer and second youngest sibling (17 or 18) was the lead singer of The Jacksons.

Quotes:

Lou Redwood: Jackie Moon is Flint's favorite son. And he has done more for this city than any human being who's ever lived on this planet!
Dick Pepperfield: With the possible exception of eh, Henry Ford... Jackie Moon has done a lot for this city, you're right about that.

Soundtrack:

Move On Up

Don't waste your time

This movie to me was just another Will Ferrel movie where he tries to carry the whole thing and it falls..hard. I only laughed at one part in this entire movie, and the rest me and my girlfriend just watched in amazement at how truly stupid a movie can be. The reason I gave it a 4 was because it wasn't the worst movie I've ever seen but I wouldn't even give it a mediocre rating. Will Ferell was trying way to hard in this movie to be funny just like he has in the past..and 4/5 it comes to bite him in the butt. This movie really did have the potential to be decent but the storyline, comedic elements, and f word got old really quick for me and my girlfriend and I regretted watching the movie after many of my friends told me not to watch it I went along with it on instinct and lost money and fun time to spend with my girlfriend.
