Longshot - Ein gewagtes Spiel

The brainchild of the man behind boy band pop star acts NSync and O-Town, Lou Pearlman's glossy, technicolor project offers an incoherent plot, a bunch of pointless cameos, and washed up actors and actresses compiled into a film that is as fulfilling and has the same amount of "staying power" as Pearlman's pop acts. What other film stars Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, The Rock, and Gilbert Goffried?? This is a sad sad piece of work. Worth to rent if you're getting drunk or high and want to make fun of a movie with friends. The only reason I rented this was to hear the song played during the car chase scene that was by a local band from my town--one of the only songs that doesn't resonate with an unforgettable pop tone.

what r u kidding me? this is the worst movie of all time! no wonder it went straight to video. the acting is terrible, but some, SOME of the cameos work but this movie is still a huge FLOP. and why would a basketball company thing would give 3 million dollars to a random fan???

Longshot is one of the weakest movies I've even seen! This could of been a great comedy, if it wasn't for the bad writing, bad acting, hell, the story in general is just dumb!! Oh and the cameos!! There are so many cameos it's ridiculous. Every 5 to 10 minutes there is a famous face. The "Captain" must of called up every manufactured pop star in Orlando, FL. Everyone in the movie is well built and polished like a Doll. Damn, I felt exploited after watching this crap. I wish I could sue Mr. Pearlman. This movie isn't terrible to people who like pop music, so let them waste their money on this masterpiece, and be ashamed they did 5 years from now! But, for the rest of us "Normal, level headed folks" make fun of it for what this garbage is!!

And not in a good way. This was one of the most painful movies I've ever had to endure. Me and my friend rented it to see all the cameos (Yeah, I'm a pop music fan, I admit it. And I'm in college, not 13!). We ended up fast forwarding until all the cameos because those were the only things worth watching. The acting was pitiful, the plot was incoherent, and don't get me started on the screenplay. Don't waste your time, please...

A vehicle for star cameos. If you need a plot, character development or anything else in a movie, look elsewhere.

Watched this on HBO, and I'm surprised that they actually have this scheduled this several times. Watch for a stock hit.
