SOooooooo I heard about this from mike super shorthw show and i thought it would be g8r to watch with my family and my 2 cats. it was pretty good. i liked the part where they shot the basketbala at the hoop and then it went in. and also i think that it's cool to see Alex D. Linz from Max Keeble's Long Move making another big star appearans. I think he will go on 2 do great things in sinema :B
o wait this move came out in 2003 T_T i guess that

After watching Full Court Miracle, I said to myself "Wow I never knew that the Disney Channel could make such a good movie, this was the best Disney Channel Movie ever!" I am a huge fan of Alex D. Linz, who played Alex Schlotsky in the movie, and I thought that he did an awesome job acting. He sure is a very talented actor. The whole story about how the oil in the Jewish lamp burned for longer than was predicted and the fuel for the school's generator burned longer than predicted so the Lions could finish their basketball game in the light was very interesting. Good job Disney with this awesome movie!b Hopefully Alex D. Linz will be in many more awesome movies to come. I rate Full Court Miracle 10/10.
The coaching can make a difference, but not give a lot of miracle. Full-Court Miracle is just a simply mediocre basketball film that's both generic and respectful to the Jewish people. I admire Richard Jones' performance as the coach and show off both his coaching and his basketball skills and the respects for the Judaism history references to set examples for basketball. But the plot is generic that makes the message of following your dreams feel forceful and that the characters are either uninteresting or just plain selfish. The ones I can think that are selfish are the ones that think of this mentality that following the life's footsteps is the only key to success and not dreams. I think the best recommendation is for basketball fans since they are probably used to films like this. However, I'll say that if you either celebrate Hanukkah or that you want to learn a bit of history, then I guess this would be for you. But I don't really see the rush to watch it. There are some miracles here that may happened, but not a lot to be fully impressive.
"Full Court Mircale" was an amazing movie. I really enjoyed it. I didn't think it would be much of a movie, but when I saw it I was like "WOW...What a great movie." Not only does it teach you about the Jewish religion, it also inspires you to never give up on your dreams and that mircales do happen. I would definitely recommend this movie to everybody.

Full-Court Miracle is a 2003 Disney Channel Original Movie. It premiered on November 23, 2003.

The main character Alex Schlotsky is inspired by the true story of Alex Barbag and Chad Korpeck.
Inspired by the true story of basketball star Lamont Carr, of the University of Virginia Cavaliers, a film that is both cute and sad at the same time, the former player's broken dream becomes a booster for young people, complicating talent, poor people, who seek success in the basketball... Simple and cute...
