    Stupid movie. I can see why it didn't make it to video.

    I really did hate this movie. There just wasn't anything good about it. They've done the non-human playing basketball way too many times (eg. Teen Wolf, Air Bud). As much as I like sasquatch/bigfoots, I just can't like this movie. But I'm sure younger audiences would enjoy it.

    Terribly Funny

    This movie is just bad. So much in this movie is just too ridiculous, which to a point, turns it into a movie that is great for friends to get together and just laugh at. Its a cryptid playing basketball for a middle school(?) for gods sake. In all, I don't recommend this movie for its intended enjoyment, I do say its worth a watch at least once to make fun of it.

    Rivals 'Hoosiers' as greatest basketball movie of all time!

    Sasquatch playing basketball - what more do you need? I literally fell on the floor laughing at several points. What is scary is that by the end of the movie it was perfectly acceptable that there is a seven foot sasquatch dancing with a 27 year-old (supposedly Middle School) at the Valentines dance. (And some claim that TV and movies aren't hardening our minds to such drival.) It is well worth a $1 rental (or purchase as the case may be). By the way the brief Star Wars clip was blasphemy against all things good about a movie.

    Not a family film

    Even though they advertise this as being a family film, it is quite the opposite. It is full of kids disrespecting coaches, parents, and adults in general.

    One of the "guiding" questions on the back of the film is "Why was it a good idea for the coach to give all of the kids equal playing time?" Really? Do we want to tell our kids that they should get equal playing time no matter their ability level? If yes, then we're telling our kids that earning a spot on a team is not necessary - it will just be given to you.

    But a reoccurring theme in the movie seems to be the attitude that the student athletes give to adults/parents.

    So, if you want to show your kid what not to do in today's society - this is a must see.

    Bigfoot Basketball

    This is a movie where you won't recognize any of the actors and the sets and costumes look like they were either home made by the actors or cost $5 at Walmart. But none of that matters. This is a movie where Bigfoot joins a middle school basketball team. That is a movie worth seeing and laughing at.
