This movie was better than I expected for a straight to DVD rental. The characters were very likable and well cast. It had a ton of very funny parts, slick fast paced basketball scenes and some nice break ins with other well known stars (Conan, other basketball players, etc). I am not a basketball fan, so I have never heard of Kevin Durant, but I am a fan after seeing him in this movie. My six year old son and I both really enjoyed the movie and it was great to not watch a totally dumbed down cartoon movie with no plot. We actually watched it twice in one day, that's how much we liked it! I'd say that this movie would be best for kids 5 - 10.
It was predictable in its format and that last 10 minutes were basically a carbon copy of most other movies of this type, so don't be shocked. It isn't an Oscar contender, but compared to other movies starring athletes, this was a good one. I'll buy it for our collection for snow/rain/sick days. Enjoyable, laid back, perfect for mom/dad to read the paper while the kid is entertained for a full 1.5 hours. Solid 7/10.
