    10/10 - Inspirational and Life Changing

    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.

    All over the court but sometimes compelling.

    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.

    An exhilarating, montage-driven 80s popcorn flick

    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.

    Superb acting and great cinematographic style are muddled by an unbalanced plot

    I don't really know how to rate this movie. The movie was pretty good. The slam-dunking was excellent. The story was sad and happy - i was laughing and crying. The ending was messed up with the bad guy getting away with taking his girlfriend. Part of the movie is a 10. Then you have to take away a point for the OK acting. Okay, I'll give it an 9......

    Very Powerful and Uplifting Move

    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...
