The problem with this movie is that the sisters - supposedly twins - look NOTHING alike.
The film is based on the true-life-story of WNBA stars Heather and Heidi Burge, who overcame sexism etc. to accomplish their goal of being basketball players.
The film is okay, and I'm more than pleased that family films can stick to the old formula - no swearing, violence, sex, etc., but a good-natured family film with values - but the film itself is poorly written and acted.
It's good that films like these can still be made, but the problem lies with (a) bad directors, (b) bad scripts, (c) bad actors, and (d) low budgets that would make "The Blair Witch Project" blush.
The fact that Disney will not release films like these into theaters tells us something: they are either too ashamed to release something with actual TASTE, or they are serving to a new generation, THAT THEY CREATED, plain and simple.
Family films used to be good, but since Disney started making "babysitter" films off of classics (i.e. "The Jungle Book 2," "101 Dalmations 2," et cetera...), kids have gotten used to minimum entertainment. They no longer realize what quality films are because CORPORATIONS LIKE DISNEY TAUGHT THEM TO NOT KNOW ANY BETTER. They accept lousy movies because they have been taught to.
Perhaps some day we will see a change, but all I see is continual downfall.
This is the reason I praise movies like "Toy Story" so much - they can stick to the old-fashioned way of entertainment: quality.
As for "Double Teamed"...unfortunately, despite some good qualities, the film just doesn't make it to a high level...

This movie is a joke. Why is it that the coaches only starts hauling in the tall players with no talent from the beginning to join their team and never gives a chance to the average height players that has some talent from the start? I swear the Asian coach in the movie looks exactly like my high school basketball coach. The way he speaks too. And how he only takes tall players during try outs (damn the coach at my school, everyone said I did good in tryouts and everybody thought I made the team but nooo!!) Anyways what kind of coach is the guy in the movie? All he does is say "Pass it to the tall girl, Keep it up girls, blah blah blah". And like I said this movie is a joke. How is it during the championship game where the opponent's coach gets a technical their team shoots 2 free throws and gets the ball?! Since when did they start shooting 2 free throws on a technical?! Why is this director directing a basketball movie if he doesn't know the basic rules. And give me a break, you can't just bring in an injured player on your roster during the middle of the game. Though I did have a good time laughing at the lameness of this movie, like this one scene in the beginning where Heather(I think) started shooting and making all her shots and everyone was going "WOW!" and looked at her in amazement but WE(the viewers) see her only like 1 feet away from the basketball! What's so amazing about that?! It's only amazing if that dog Air Bud makes it from that close. And who shoots a 3 pointer after stealing the ball on a fastbreak?! Yeah yeah it's just a simple family movie but c'mon at least make it a little more realistic. This movie is awful. The message here is these girls did not find their talent on their own as they were forced to join the basketball team. What if they were 2 average height girls? The coaches wouldn't ask them to try out for basketball, they wouldn't be signing autographs in the WNBA today. Or at least this is what the movie is saying to me on my point of view.
Sure some may think this is a sweet movie but this was too corny for me. If you want to see a good Disney Channel Original Movie then check out Brink! That was a cool movie.

I have seen this movie, and I thought that it was a very inspirational movie for young girls like myself to do their best. You may not think that it doesn't show the obstacles they had to face, but moving to a new town and having people hate you in high school is definitely an obstacle, and almost every teenage girl can relate. It was a good movie that could inspire a future WNBA star! And even though they didn't look like each other it doesn't matter, it's not exactly easy to find two tall twin blondes around age 16 who can act! I say this movie is a 3-point play!
This movie is really good and sends out a good message to kids. I love basketball so I don't know why I wouldn't like this movie but even if you don't like basketball check this movie out. Although it looks like this movie is only about basketball.... the plot is much much more than that! All in All I give it a 9.5/10!
This film was great! I love basket ball, so I was very excited to see that Disney had made a film about basket ball! This movie has a great plot, and has more than one conflict going on at once, so it stays interesting. The only problem with this film is that Heather and Hedi look nothing like twins. Heather has a longer face and thinner nose than Hedi. Heather also has a deeper voice. I know this doesn't sound like much, but it's very noticable in the movie. Other that that, this movie is great! 9/10

- QuizPoppi Monroe and Annie McElwain both had to wear padding in their shoes to make them appear much taller than everyone else.
- BlooperAt the end of the movie they were playing against each other in the WNBA. In fact, Heidi played in the WNBA in 1997 with the LA Sparks and 1998 with the Washington Mystics, and Heather played in the WBA for the Sacramento Monarchs in 1999. They were never in the league at the same time.
