Okay I have got to say that this is one of the coolest sports movies ever!It not only brings entertainment to it's viewers but it also educates them on basketball and the jewish religion. The movie has a strong cast, a great plot and just the right amout of humor and the guys wern't all that bad looking either! I loved this movie and I think it teaches viewers that miracles can and will happen, I give this movie 10 out of 10 stars I think this is an exceedingly good movie, and it's just a tv movie!
The reason I watched this movie is because of Richard T. Jones. I enjoyed his acting on Judging Amy so thats why I wanted to catch this movie. I also enjoy movies with sports in them. I ended up enjoying the movie for more reasons than Jones being in it. I enjoyed the character played by Alex D. Linz and I learned some things about Jewish customs. It was the first time I had ever heard that song the family sung as well. I think Disney does a good job with their TV movies because I have seen a ton of them over the years. I remember one called 'The Mary Thomas Story' that was well done, and it's good to see Disney still making good TV movies. Catch this one if you can.
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

"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.

Auggh! Totally unconvincing depiction of a basketball game. So many childish errors that credibility is continually punctured. Even the antics of the onlookers are poorly acted - nothing looks goofier than poorly staged pictures of people cheering and reacting in an unconvincing manner.
And I am the only one who thought the Jewish miracle message was a bit heavy-handed given the trivial nature of the b-ball contest? I do applaud the attention and dignity that the script gives to the Jewish faith, though - the movie has noble intentions.
Movies get much, much better than this. I gave it 4/10.
