Critics Consensus

This heartfelt but incompetent, cliche-ridden sports picture is the cinematic equivalent of an airball.

A real air ball, so poorly scripted that most of the major plot developments occur offscreen. Go to Full Review Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle 09/23/2006
1/5
Writer-director Preston Whitmore II's basketball film is a well-intentioned but utterly clichd slice of Detroit life. Go to Full Review Tim Cogshell Boxoffice Magazine 09/16/2006
2/5
The inspirational sports movie cliches notwithstanding, Crossover is just bad filmmaking that does not serve either its cast or its audience well. Go to Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com 09/05/2020
1.0/4.0
It wasn't unreasonable to hope for a silly, shallow film with exciting basketball, jammin' music and electricity in the air. Go to Full Review Tom Meek Boston Phoenix 04/23/2009
1.5/4
Even though the plot forgoes the formulaic slam-dunk, hackneyed devices, low production values, and the stilted direction (by Preston A. Whitmore II) dribble the ball off the shoe and out of bounds. Go to Full Review Jim Lane Sacramento News & Review 08/07/2008
3/5
The movie is also burdened by some amateurish acting in supporting roles, but Mackie and Jonathan are the real deal, and they get good support from Wayne Brady as a smarmy sports agent. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

thiago s @Thiagostone Nov 13 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more JC's Scatter-Brained T @JoshuaChigumira 08/25/2023 An underrated gem. And a sample of Anthony Mackie's future star power! The rest of the cast really excelled too! Character motivation may have needed an improvement within the writing. But overall a well filmed and edited basketball flick at its lower budget! See more 11/12/2020 YOU KNOW ITS NOT GOOD WHEN BIO DOME RATES HIGHER! Haha, it isn't horrible. There were some instances of good acting but whomever wrote the script needs to quit. The director sucked too and it must have been a really low budget. The scenes mostly felt forced and were one take, and it was choppy editing as well.
