    Enjoyed it !

    If you are into sports and family movies, you don't want to miss this one. It will probably be more appealing to younger audiences, but I also liked it and I am 35. The story is not new, a battle between complete underdogs and the ones that are suppose to beat them easily. I won't reveal much of the story, but I found the movie both motivational and inspirational. I liked the characters, the action and the ending was great too. I would gladly recommend this cute little movie to anyone!

    Dumb sports movie

    Seriously, this movie uses so many clichés from sports films like there's no tomorrow. The storyline is wholly impossible given that the three kids have minimal basketball skills and are completely overwhelmed by the other teams in the 3-3 tournament.

    The team sucks so bad and then starts to get game right as the tournament picks up? I also have no idea why the Chinese American boy was put into the story -- he added little or nothing to the movie.

    The viewer never gets to see who the main character really is and why he has a strained relationship with his father.

    What a waste of about 93 minutes. I certainly do not recommend this movie to anyone.

    A great family movie

    I watched Slam with my girlfriend and we both liked it, even though, it might be a movie for a younger audience. There was a decent suspense in the movie, the story was cute and we were not bored for a single minute. Editing is very good, and overall it is a very motivational and a good-vibe movie. The director did a wonderful job, the cast was great and main characters are very sympathetic. Slam was a good Saturday night time waster.

    A nice Asian gem

    I got bored by Hollywood production, because their movies started too look all the same, so I often watch foreign movies. I have learned to love both European and Asian cinema because they offer something new, instead of superhero movies and shallow comedies which are lately coming from Holywood. Slam is a hidden gem, nicely paced, with a simple yet interesting story, beliveable acting, I enjoyed watching it with my friends.

    A good time waster

    I love watching non-Holywood movies, especially when they come from Asia, because they have a special impression on me. This cute little movie was a pleasant surprise and, both my kids and I, loved it! When it comes to family movies I watch them only because of my kids, because I am a fan of different genres, but Slam was a good time waster. The action in the movie is great, young actors were OK, some of them were more convincing than the others, and the story was nice. I would recommend it to the audiences of all ages.
