alan g @agenser 09/19/2024 Hip hop undate of the classic the red shoes. Stick with the classic. See more 02/24/2017 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. See more 11/26/2013 Between a 4/10 and 5/10, another film that substitutes good filmmaking for a good message. See more 01/30/2009 very awkward... in all regards See more 11/21/2008 comedy that is similar to "Like Mike". See more 04/09/2008 (** 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.
