Austin Chronicle

Headlining a less-than-mediocre kids' movie taints one's brand rather than enhancing it. Just ask Shaq.

Sells itself on durable messages about strong work ethic, the importance of community relations and playing to one's individual potential.

It's a family-friendly movie with a warmhearted message for children that -- surprisingly -- isn't too cheesy for their parents to enjoy as well.

Rated: 2.5/4

Talent-swapping basketball tale is bland but OK for kids.

It might be more effective with a hint of subtlety and a premise that isn't so flimsy and formulaic.
