Crossover maybe the worst basketball movie ever. It's really hard to understand how was it possible to write a script this bad. And how did they convince Anthony Mackie, Wayne Brady, Hot Sauce, and Kristen Wilson to play in it? The story tries to be some mix of 'He Got Game' and 'White Man Can't Jump' but its quality is far-far away from both films. The characters are shallow, and the drama is... let's say it's fine, but really badly presented. The worst thing is (and remember it's a BASKETBALL MOVIE) the basketball part of the film. The whole thing is absolutely unrealistic, full of cut-scenes, and almost absolutely lacks the trash talk which would be an important part of a streetball themed movie. I can't really decide what was the intention of making this film. For a regular drama, it's weak. For a sport movie, the sport part badly presented. The only enjoyable part of it, when we see Hot Sauce's moves in slow motion.Save your time, and don't watch this movie. It really doesn't worth it.

I watched this movie one boring night with a bunch of friends who swore to god it was the worst movie ever made, so of course we have to watch it.Honestly, they were absolutely right. It was one of the more fun nights of my life too. Couldn't stop A: laughing at how bad it was, and B: staring in disbelief something this bad could be made.There was really no comprehensible plot, no characters to like, no character development, nobody in the movie talks without the camera being pointed at them (conversations are quite funny because it just flips between each person over and over), no comedy, not really any redeeming factor outside of doing everything so poorly its enjoyable. Wayne Brady being in it is just icing on the cake, especially after the famous Chappelle skit. Pretty much the perfectly bad movie.I highly recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys hilariously bad movies and cant wait to watch it again with another group of friends on another boring night.

someone asked? Hmm... Where should I start? Well, let's start with the blueprint: screenplay.The dialogue was on-the-nose, predictable babbling about nothing. The jokes were even worse. The characters were less than one dimensional while accomplishing all sorts of inconsistencies, which attributed to outrageous behavior. I mean, at one point, the main character was just having a nervous breakdown for absolutely nothing, for the sake of drama. The plot was as believable as Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer. And even with the absurd plot, the writing failed to be original at all levels. I mean, we saw the same subplots done before in way more superior films like "White Men Can't Jump".The directing was Amateur night at the Apollo. He did nothing with the camera or the blocking of the actors to make me believe he has an ounce of talent in his body. And the shots were so flat and uninteresting. I hope they shot the movie on HD. I'd hate to think one can make film stock look so bad.The acting was the worst. Inappropriate and unjustified outbursts of anger, straight line readings off the page and so much wooden actions/reactions that it started to look like a smörgåsbord for termites.And the basketball playing was terrible, even from the actors who are known for basketball, like Hot Sauce. They made a big mistake trying to pass off Anthony Mackie as some ballplayer. He looked uncomfortable with the basketball every time he touched it. I had a hard time watching him.Uneventful montages. Glossy cinematography looking like someone's home VHS camera. Lame jokes. Inept editing.You know when you have watched a bad film? When you're a passionate cinephile and after watching the film, it was so bad, you're left with a temporary bad taste in your mouth for movie making since the beginning of time. This film is that bad.

I couldn't believe the negative reviews of this film--it seemed no one could say anything good about this film. Thank goodness that wasn't true, because although this is not the greatest movie I've ever seen, it's pretty good for a basketball movie--and I normally don't like those? The storyline, while it may have had predictable elements (then again, what movie nowadays doesn't?), had at least one redeeming quality: It's overwhelmingly positive portrayal of it's black cast of characters. Even the villains had redeeming qualities, and at no time did the writers resort to the tired stereotypical gimmicks of gang bangers or drug heads. Overall, a not "great" movie, but a "good" one.
