Alex A Not a bad movie but the only problem was understanding the moral dilemma of the hero.i mean what's wrong if some poor people got some money a house and a better life for their son to play basketball and earn a degree.ok in a way I understand the ethics involved but practically.. the "sponsor" was the corrupt bad guy giving gifts expecting basketball wins,is this so wrong? I mean in pro ball a bonus is perfectly legal. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/11/25 Full Review Jarrod R I have mixed feelings about Blue Chips, since in the summer of 1993, I auditioned to be part of the fictional pep band for the Western University basketball team and got the part along with friends from the Indiana University pep band. The audition process was a ton of fun, albeit stressful, and while it was all done in Indianapolis, it did provide a little glimpse into the "process" of getting a movie made. And then, a week before shooting, they got rid of all of us and went with a high school group up where they would be shooting some of those scenes. That's show biz, baby. Blue Chips was certainly of the moment as it had a collection of some of the biggest names from the college and pro basketball world, as well as cameos from legendary college coaches like Bobby Knight and Rick Pitino. On top of that, this one had a DEEP bench (pun intended?) with Nick Nolte, Mary McDonnell, J.T. Walsh, Ed O'Neill, and Alfre Woodard with solid roles. All told, an interesting concept - what would you be willing to do to win? - should have been a slam dunk, but it felt like it pulled some punches and just skidded across the surface without the true emotional impact. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/25 Full Review Carlos I A fairly average sports drama. It plays with melodramatic themes of righteousness, but doesn't allow itself to totally dip into sentimentality. If you dig sports flicks, you should enjoy. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Garret G A man named Amin referred me to this movie but I think this a phobe. Bob Cousy better be happy he acted against Electricians and Plumbers or he may be the most ass on acting I've ever seen. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/12/24 Full Review Steve D Far more notable for its cameos than anything else, but watchable. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Some fun stuff for sure as a college basketball fan, Nolte was really really good in this. The basketball scenes were shot well and it was fun to see Knight, Boeheim, and Dickie V. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
