Slamma Jamma

I think this is one of my favourite films. The acting is superb, slam-dunk champion Staples shines in his role as Michael Diggs, and Michael Irvin is also pretty good as his former agent. As well as the smart acting there is a powerful script and storyline, i wont say the story because its probably already been said in other reviews, but the characters are believable and original.

The music is another good point for this film, the songs done by the rappers really add to the feel of the film and the title song "Slam" is a brilliant track.

My favourite aspect of this film is the director''s use of the camera, his slow pans around and smooth camera movements with no cuts are really good, this film contains some of the best shots i've seen and are really inspiring.Especially the scene when Chris is in the park hugging his mother's grave.

My main criticism of this film is the ending, the film was believable and real all the way through but the ending was a big letdown, my other criticism is that it is a bit too long and can lose the audiences attention by being a bit boring.

But overall this is a great film by one of Hollywood's best faith-based directors, and this film should have got more praise than it got, especially Chris Staple's performance.

TWO THUMBS UP. Its "perfection" is in the fact that this is an interesting, truly uplifting story, with warm characters, outstanding performances, and an appeal to everyone, whatever sex, age, background - and equally for those who know and/or care little for the game of basketball.

If this film didn't mention Jesus or God, the rating would be a 9+ in my humble opinion. But haters hate.

What makes this also one of the best sports films of all time isn't just the sport, it's because it's such a human-interest film, such a wonderful story of giving people second chances in life. Add a true-life David beat Goliath story and you have an appealing film.

Truly LOVE 'Slamma Jamma'

I do not understand how this film can have such a low rating, this is undoubtedly the best movie of any basketball movie so far. With a fantastic storyline, sensational dunk scenes, a very good cast, a good sound mix, great soundtrack and great music. Truly good, one of the best movies ever and one of the greatest classics of its era.

In a nutshell, I love it!

Watch th first 15 mins and then run it forward to the last 30 mins or so and you have a smile on your face. What more do you want?

Highly recommend.

This is one of my favorite sports films. The character development and storytelling are operating very highly. The montages are motivational, meaningful, and beautifully shot. The dunk scenes are probably some of the best in film history, and the acting is superb.

Whenever i was let down by something, i would just watch this movie and i would feel revived. This movie gives me the courage to do anything in life. The dialog is incredible Whenever i lose faith or i don't have the enough courage to face the problems of my life, this movie gives me all i ever need. SO IF SOMEONE DOES NOT LIKE THIS MOVIE, I GUESS THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THAT PERSON. In this movie, the way that this guy Diggs has faced his problems with faith and all heart is awesome. I would recommend this movie to everyone who has problems and doesn't have the courage to face them. I HAVE PERSONALLY WATCHED THIS MOVIE OVER 10 TIMES At least BUT STILL I WATCH IT SOMETIMES WHEN I'm LOW.

"Theres no easy way out" - this is the motto of the movie. One of my personal favorites. This one will leave you with tears and happiness, a great one to buy or rent. I like the director's previous film 'Suing the Devil' - very talented filmmaker.
