Is this film for everyone? No, probably not. But I think there's at least something everyone can enjoy. It's a sports movie with a little bit of romance, comedy, and plenty of heart. So even if you're not out at your local park pretending to be Jordan or LeBron, there's plenty to be enjoyed here. I found it to be a lot like Tag from a few weeks prior. I didn't necessarily laugh out loud more than a few times (dissimilar to what my audience did at the theater), but I found myself connected to these ridiculous characters and smiling along with this wild ride. Reggie Miller and Chris Webber were surprisingly tolerable as actors, and actually pretty funny at times. Kyrie Irving did his best to co-lead a film in which he's in makeup that's "supposed to" age him 60+ years. And of course there's Shaq, who certainly improves upon the last movie I remember him leading, Kazaam. But the film only works if you buy into Lil Rey Howery as Dax, a down on his luck basketball coach who just wants to win the Rucker Park tournament one year. I could do without the Tiffany Haddish storyline, which felt like something out of a lame sitcom, but I bought into his failed basketball career and his aspirations to coach a champion. Sure, you know exactly where the film is going, but if the film succeeds in telling the story it wants to tell, it doesn't necessarily matter the route it took to get there.6.9/10

It is a very good movie. y'all should go watch it. it has an NBA player in it. i went and saw it. the actors were very good. it was also really funny

As a huge basketball fan, I knew I was going to watch this film on release, and personally I'm glad I did. However, I could not recommend this film to anyone that doesn't enjoy the sport. It drops a lot of references to the players who play the characters which is a nice thing for fan to pick up, and some of the jokes are funny, but it can get stale on occasion.

I was looking forward to seeing the movie; I saw it on the day it was released; after seeing and hearing quite a few sexual references and profanity.... after the Baptism Scene O walked out of movie...I wouldn't want to support a movie that made fun of the Sacrament of Baptism and certainly wouldn't want my children to see it. This movie and many others could be just as funny without any of the aforementioned.
