Caught this last night at a sneak preview. It's about what you'd expect. Some funny stuff separated by a lot of Ferrell doing Ferrell (a lot of yelling, crude humor and "jokes" puncuated by foul language).
The good -- opening credits are laugh out loud funny. Some cool basketball scenes, especially during the climax. Jackie Earl Haley has a great extended cameo as a fan. There are a lot of familiar faces, too.
The bad -- a lot of long scenes that go nowhere + the aforementioned Ferrell "humor."
If you like Will Ferrell, you'll like the flick. If your not a fan, you'll chuckle at a few spots.
By the way, there were less than 10 exterior shots of the city of Flint.
As a Ferrell film, it's a ***.5/*****.
