alan g Hip hop undate of the classic the red shoes. Stick with the classic. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review Audience Member Well done, fair made-for-TV family movie. Cliché for the most part, but with an urban twist that emphasizes being honest to oneself. Good for kids who would appreciate a basketball theme. A fair choice for a family movie night. A good B-movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Between a 4/10 and 5/10, another film that substitutes good filmmaking for a good message. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member very awkward... in all regards Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member comedy that is similar to "Like Mike". Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member (** 1/2): [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon13.gif[/img] I didn't hate it but it comes off as a little too whimsy/sweet. I realize the film is for families but I just wanted a little more edge and less predictably. I also wanted more basketball sequences because those were well-shot. A near-miss.
