Like Mike 2: Streetball

I like the first movie. Heartwarming story. This one tries to do the same, but they go overkill on the "special effects". The Basketball choreography in this movie is just sad. The way the villains in this movie act is so over the top its like a movie for children around 6 years old. Its just bad all over. Most of the shots is a closeups where you see them shoot and the next fram its a video of the basket closeup where the ball is falling in. This film is just sad on almost everything except the lessons they teach us. I still has some entertainment value bcs of this. But in termst of script they went the cheap way. Its not the worst movie I have seen, but thats it.

I have seen this movie and my comment is that this movie is worth your time and money. It's moral is really important and the comedy and basketball moves are new and funny. This movie is way better than the first one. The acting was O.K, the acting in part one was better too(especially Lil' Romeo). the basketball moves were totally perfect. This movie has a lot more focus on the characters, not too much on the shoe. This movie has a great script and the effects were electrifying. This movie even had a lot of characters which is really hard to put in any movie but this one, this one was the king of all. Jascha Washington was a great actor and performed in his role really good. Micheal Beach's play was exactly how most basketball fathers are in actual life. For the first time in this movie the mother was wrong and the father was right. This was really surprising. I love Kel Mitchell. He made the movie really great with him being a player and all. I love it when they call him family and someone always say even him himself, "I'm Jerome's cousin's ex-boyfriend's brother. This movie was the bomb.

Awful movie hate every minute of this crap just plain awful

Totally different vibe with some similarities to the first one. Not enough basketball a bit to much dialogue otherwise great in a lot of ways like the music, characters, fairly entertaining, and kinda funny! Jascha Washington and Kel Mitchel are the best cast members. Not much else to this one pretty good for what it is though.

I haven't watched the first one, but I still managed to follow the complex plot through its many twists and turns, and the ingenious and original concept. In fact, having caught this direct-to-video sequel on television, I now feel enlightened. Seriously though... it can't just be me, can we all just agree that there are too many of these flicks? I'm not so much talking about the "underdog rises up in *insert sport here*, gets the recognition and attention he's always wanted only to learn an important lesson", I am referring to the fact that there are several based around this exact idea, the kid who wants to be a superior player finding a pair of magical shoes. Is there a deranged wizard running around somewhere, enchanting footwear wherever he goes? Honestly, what are the *odds* of this happening, and numerous times in different American cities, no less? And are they actually all about basketball? On the plus side, this has a nice amount of game footage, and it's not half bad. The jokes and gags are pretty standard, mostly silly material, including a little bit of gross-out comedy. Music is cool and usually reasonably good, too. Acting varies, typically around average. The message is fine, and its delivery is OK. Editing, cinematography and special effects have their moments. I recommend this to fans of these movies. If such exist. 5/10
