What the Critics say | ||
| Cape Times Kevin Crust | 10 |  |
| BBC Anna Smith  One of Ferrell's weakest to date. | 10 | |
| eye Weekly Jason Anderson Lazy and erratic | 5 |  |
| ReelViews James Berardinelli On the whole, if you're on the prowl for a Ferrell yuk-fest, you'd do better renting one of his more successful comedies than spending money on this faux sports dud. | 10 | |
| Rolling Stone Peter Travers Critics will score Semi-Pro on its missed shots. My guess is that audiences will do what they always do with Ferrell: remember when he killed them laughing. | 13 |  |
| ScreenItThe bigger issue, however, is that the material just isn't clever, creative and/or funny enough to score. | 4 | |
| Metacritic.com 29 critics | 9 | |
| Rottentomatoes critics 129 critics | 9 | |
| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer An intermittently funny, half-hearted attempt at sports satire. | 4 | |
