| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksDespite obvious weaknesses, however, the film gets a huge boost from several excellent performances. |
| VarietyBrian LowryA fine cast and the movie's general energy can't overcome that mix of cliches and technical flaws. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonA stultifying cliche of a movie -- even by sports-flick standards -- this basketball allegory doesn't get anywhere near the rim. |
| Apollo GuideWesley LovellWhen you play with something this formulaic, you're bound to trip upon a theme that has been endlessly explored and agonizingly overdone. |
| User ReviewLewis Witz a Awesome basketball movie n it has my nigga 2pac |
| User ReviewMary SI love Pac. He played this movir to a key. Super Black Movie |
| User ReviewTyress JI just love to read reviews where critics refer to the realitys' of the urban culture as cliche, or ghetto. Unfortunately, for far too many of us within the culture, the movie highlights the few choices, we as a culture have to rise from poverty: sports or Illicit activities. Most in the pursuit to end their struggle. The only thing really cliche about this movie is the happy ending where Dwayne Johnson (Kyle Watson) on to play as George town. want to see your so called "ghetto" "cliche" visit your nearest urban area. I and most of my people love this movie. It's by B.U.F.U. By us f*** u. Fubu. so you probably wouldn't understand. |
| User ReviewAlexander Cpac is a nice actor rocks everything he was in gd in this at playin the bad guy |
