Leave your thoughts about Crossover.
| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckWhile director-screenwriter Preston A. Whitmore II's film is to be admired for its proponing the values of a higher education over the dream of a career in the NBA, its dialogue, characterizations and situations rarely transcend the level of cliche. |
| Baltimore SunChris KaltenbachA film made by people with more heart than skill. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderThe entire film is just so over-the-top, feeling more like an After School Special than a serious inner-city drama. |
| Entertainment WeeklyGregory KirschlingCrossover skimps on court-level pyrotechnics (we get a game in the beginning and, of course, a big game at the end, and that's about it) in favor of dry urban melodrama. |
| Movie MomNell MinowIt shoots. And it shoots and shoots and shoots, but it never scores. |
| AV ClubScott TobiasCrossover doesn't have the competence to make it exciting or the desire to explore what's really at stake for these players. |
| Milwaukee Journal SentinelSue PiermanCrossover has too much going for it. It has a wonderful message about making smart life choices, but the story shuffles among too many subjects -- sports, romance, friendship -- to let audiences hear it clearly. |
| Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionBob TownsendCompared to those prodigious in-your-face fakes, alley oops and slam dunks, the movie's trite, trash-talking dialogue and drippy do-the-right-thing message fall as flat as an airball. |
| CinemaBlend.comJoshua TylerWayne Brady, even at his most intimidating, is about as threatening as a basket full of kittens. |
| VarietyRobert KoehlerOvershadowed by vastly superior sports movies like Invincible and hardly disguising its low-budget sources, pic isn't in any kind of shape for the theatrical leagues. |
