Slamma Jamma

There is a lot of emotion in this film....wow....love it. As a Chicago guy, all I can say is this the best basketball film in ages....you will laugh, cry, and root....enough said....solid 9. Be well and God bless everyone on this thing.

Certainly moralistic and a tad simplistic (as all his stories are), but enjoyable none the less. Its a good film but has little that will make it stand out from the rest other than its good film.

Slamma Jamma' is a decent/good movie that could have been a great movie. I say that it is a decent movie because the overall plot was pretty solid and the acting was very good. However, it could have been a great film if the story could have been told with greater detail and the film had been better edited. I give it a 9 because of the sensational ending when the lead actor rescues his brother, and you will not find a better speech in any Hollywood movie ever.

It's a well-done drama with a couple of clunkers in it. The ONE thing that was slightly disappointing was the strange ending. The ending was rushed and corny. That's my opinion.

The cinematography however is just beautiful - I remember sitting in the theater and saying "who the hell shot this?"

I think the actor who played Diggs should get at least a Golden Globe for his effort - I mean c'mon he's a real life slam dunk champion and he really can act...

This is a very deep and meaningful film which has great moralistic lessons to offer the audience.

Left me in tears. It's all about GOD and some people despise that.

I almost never would give a 10 on a film since I believe that every film could do better, but in this case it is just a really good family film with some great take-a-ways. The acting keeps getting better in their films and the professionalism of the script level is very comparable to any family film produced by Hollywood. The messages and impact was felt deeply by myself. The next day I am still singing the songs in my head and trying to make some differences in my daily life to take advantage of the advise offered in the movie. I can't understand why many people would vote a '1' and then not even do a review, unless they never even saw the film and are just against anything with references to Jesus in a film. I guess that part hasn't changed in over 2000 years!? Go see the film and take someone with you...

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'
