Show me my money back

Rating: 4/10 (22 February 2005)

Sports movies are generally horrendous. That said, this movie is right on par with some of the worst. Necessary Roughness comes to mind, and so does Blue Chips. Throw in a hunk, a bombshell, a cute kid, and a dash of comedy, and you've got yourself a Hollywood fumble. This should be no surprise as Tom Cruise is now a veteran of this genre. All the Right Moves, and Days of Thunder echo in my mind. Sure, many people love this movie, for reasons beyond comprehension, but not this sports-fan. I'd rather watch a movie starring Steve Guttenberg as Brooklyn's best kept Streetball secret, with NBA pipe dreams. "Who's with me, who's with me."
