- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Predictable to its very core, and in a funny way the predictability is part of the fun. The movie is in on the joke of its own recycling."
-
"The idea of transposing the story to the macho, greedy world of big-time sports is promising, but director Jesse Vaughan delivers only flat dialogue and predictable situations."
-
"This isn't the worst movie Warner Bros. has brought out this summer (Scooby-Doo, boo on you), but for it to work, you have to accept the irredeemable stupidity of almost every character."
-
"It is Kevin Pollak who steals what there is of a show as Jamal's passive-aggressive, pressure-cooked agent. His comedic timing is the only genuinely impressive slam dunk this movie has to offer."
-
"It's all so insincere, you can almost imagine the filmmakers rubbing their hands together at the prospect of ripping off the public."
-
"Here's a truly novel sports film: It actually has a script, decent acting, sympathetic characters. And it's fun."
