This is a basketball movie, but the most uninteresting parts are when people are playing basketball. There’s a lot of shout-cued interpersonal drama happening elsewhere. The story centers around a skilled high school player on the verge of a scholarship to Georgetown University and a side-story involving his mother’s new boyfriend; a former player who missed his chance. Elsewhere is where you’ll have to focus for shots of entertainment. That’s assuming you can get pass all the overacting and pointless violence.
