Leave your thoughts about Doin' It in the Park: Pick-Up Basketball, NYC.
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferAn irresistibly entertaining, uplifting, well-edited tribute to the subculture of pick-up basketball in NYC. |
| Film Journal InternationalFrank LoveceDocumentary about New York street basketball offers great technical quality and admirably insider interviews, but celebrates the subject unquestioningly, without a larger context. |
| OregonianJamie S. RichWhether or not you play yourself, Doin' It in the Park is as involving as an afternoon on the court, and just about as much fun. |
| New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierYou either bring it or you don't, and directors Robert "Bobbito" Garcia and Kevin Couliau know how to do it. |
| User ReviewClark CDoin' It In The Park is the modern version of the classic film of Endless Summer. It's a great film to watch on a weekend afternoon to just kick back. |
| User ReviewMassimo Bfrom NYC playgrounds a manifesto of the love of the game |
| User ReviewAntoine BThis joint is without a doubt the best documentary about pick-up basketball culture. Perfectly documented and insanely beautiful, this film captures with precision the essence of a culture in lack of recognition (especially in France). By their work on the field (they basically played games on every single court in NYC for the purpose of the movie), Bobbito Garcia and Kevin Couliau not only pictured the perfect portrait of pick up basketball in the Mecca but also revealed the importance of a place in many urban cultures (basketball, Hip-Hop, Skate- boarding): "THE PARK" A tale that I know any street basketball players all over the world will relate and I hope will inspire new players to come down to do it in the park... |
