It’s 1976 and Will Ferrell is Jackie Moon - the owner, coach and star of the worst team in the ABA basketball league. Despite the success of his hit single “Love Me Sexy”, Jackie’s failures on the court put the whole team’s future on the line. Now, with the NBA merger looming, he has to put the groove in his moves and the funk in his dunk to save his team…and his reputation.

Ryan (Troy Gentile), Wade (Nate Hartley) and Emmit (David Dorfman) attend their first day at high school and they’re pumped…until they meet up with Filkins (Alex Frost), a school bully who comes off like a little Hannibal Lecter. Before they become completely engulfed in Filkins’ reign of terror, they seek out some protection by placing an ad in Soldier of Fortune magazine. Their best response – and the cheapest – comes from Drillbit Taylor (Owen Wilson), a down-on-his luck soldier of fortune who lives a homeless – he likes to say “home-free” – existence on the beach. He enrolls them in some physical and mental training.
