10 out of 10.....As our country continues to see the lines of racial divide grow farther and farther apart this film is a breath of fresh air. With a well written screenplay and excellent acting this slam dunk movie lifts the spirit of its audience to embrace the truth that peace can be found for everyone through faith in the one true source of hope and love. We need more films like this to help shape our culture for the betterment of society.Take your family, take your friends, take your sports teams, and see this film. If we can emulate the change that took place in this man's heart and soul then maybe we can make a difference in our nation that has eternal weight.

This was and is truly one of the most outstanding basketball movies of all time. I would urge anyone, anyone at all, regardless of their background relating to sports, to sit back and watch this movie, and to try to see it, feel it, through the eyes of the protagonists. It is unforgettable.

This gets my vote for the best movie of all time!! I know, it sounds crazy to say that about a basketball movie, but to me, this film has more drama, truth, realism & emotion than a thousand Hollywood movies put together. I've seen it over and over at the theater, and it never ceases to gladden my heart to see this moving story. The scene where Michael's mom dies left me in tears. For me, this is one of the rare movies that I never wanted to end. 10/10.

In a year of many bad movies (USA Today reported the year 2017 was one of the worst years for movies in 75 years), this was one of the year's best.This movie received very little hype and fanfare compared to many box office "turkeys" of that year did. It seems as though the theaters did not have very high expectations for this movie, considering the little promoting they did and release date they gave it. This was grossly underrated.I think the acting was really great. The actors worked great as a team to make a really heartfelt movie that is entertaining to watch. There are a lot of sports movies out there, but something about these guys dunking the ball just really hit home for me. I recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys sports and like great dramatic films with a lot of heart.I cried in the end of it cause its not just as most the movies that ends with wining or so cause it wasn't a team story it's a story of friendship and respect at a critical time when the lead character's mom died....it was very touching and sad.....I don't want to say much about it but its really one good movie full of feelings and challenge to so don't you miss that one..This movie is a very memorable movie, because it is so fun. It makes you feel good down inside, and it's an all around good movie. This should be nominated for a few Academy Awards. It would deserved it, but it won't. The title doesn't fit the pompous Academy.I would watch this movie again as it helped me believe that sports can have a deeper meaning than just winning or losing.Not only does this movie provide great acting, directing, and story but it also provides people today with a great message. Though race issues appear to be dwindling from the extent that they were during the time of this movie, a lot can be learned about the history of race issues and how the world has changed from 40 years ago with the help of this movie. The movie also contains a great message about humility. While Michael Diggs does have to deal with the problems of being black in a world out to arrest innocent black men, he stills manages to learn about hardships beyond race through players and others through a little bit of humility. I LOVED THAT.Seldom do movies come, which not only entertain us,but also teach us some values & lessons.This movie is just 1 amongst those!!!I believe that everyone should see the movie, because it doesn't appeal to just one type of individual. It's for Families, sports fans, couples etc. One of the best movies ever made.I read that little woman critic's review and laughed. You could tell she didn't have a clue about the world outside her little bubble.Oh how rare it is to find an inspirational movie such as this. Something people don't make anymore. This will have you welling up with tears of joy at seeing all people getting together for the better. I loved it when the kids got together. This is a must watch for anyone who is having a bad day and needs some cheering up. :) 10/10Quality: 10/10 Entertainment: 10/10 Replayable: 10/10Just watch it!!
