Great movie. Interesting concept and lead actors do very well.
Solid, fun movie. Not even a basketball fan and still enjoyed it. The street ball 90s vibe is nostalgic.. the last good movie snipes made
1st watched: 2023; Iconic, quintessential 90’s time capsule movie; Peak Snipes/Harrelson/Perez. Authentic + grounded + birthing YoMama jokes
The chemistry makes this film amazing. Harrelson and Snipes work so well with each other you can’t help but love it
Fun and original story. Ending is weird tho.
Spot on portrayal of self destructive behavior and frustrating characters yet very fun and entertaining
A lot of charm and fun. Not the best ending but still good. I wish movies were made like this still. Raw and rough edges.
The chemistry between the two leads carries this movie. So does the basketball. So do the “yo mama” jokes. Okay, it’s all great.
The painful story of love, addiction, sacrifice and pride. Surprisingly powerful performances by otherwise comedic actors.
Snipes and Harrelson give their all for their roles. They are the ones actually playing basketball in the shots; there is no film trickery.
