As a kid this was my absolute favorite movie. Even as an adult it is still among my favorites. I love how we follow the journey of the two teen lovers and watch them evolve. This movie also has an amazing soundtrack which enhances the movie even more. No matter how old I get I will always love 'Love and Basketball'. September 14, 2008

I purchased this movie based on all the positive reviews, and it was served up to me as a recommendation.
I must say, I was mistaken in pulling the trigger on this purchase. This movie is so sappy, and so far from possibly happening, it may as well be called "Cinderella & Prince Charming of Basketball". It's a modern day fairy tale, and frankly, that was not what I was expecting, when I had noticed it was produced by Spike Lee.
After watching Spike Lee's "He Got Game", I thought this might be at least just as good. "He Got Game" had it's own problems, but this movie is simply not a quality piece of film making. Some of the acting is very good, but the "trials & tribulations" overcome by our stars, doesn't create enough of a sympathetic environment from the viewers stand point. (like say a Hossier's movie) This movie might be a good, "meet me in the middle" flick for a Saturday night, but should not be categorized as "sports" movie. I urge anyone considering this movie to do a little bit more in depth research, about the plot, plausibility, and ultimate "happy ending" of this movie. September 13, 2008
