Finally, a film that addresses the growing epidemic of young black men accidentally jumping through windows in a high-rise building playing basketball. Tupac turns in a good performance, and the basketball scenes are great, but everything else is kind of ehh

Its ok. But nothing to write home about. Soundtrack is pretty good though. Its just not as powerful as I think it likes to say it is.

Tupac again is not that bad an actor, fairly watchable movie.

Some parts bizarre, some parts good, mostly cliche. Soundtrack's good. So's Tupac. Though, his character could've been better. That's all.

at first I thought this movie was just alright but after seeing it again on tv there was a lot about this movie I liked. The plot is kind of "bin-there-done-that" but the 80s-90s feel is what gives it its charm. Good actors/characters aswell.

A pretty solid sports movie. It mixes family drama in with the sports stuff plenty and there are definitely some interesting characters here. Bernie Mac and Tupac might have the most memorable ones and there's just a whole big mood to the whole movie. You can kind of tell what will happen with the story here, especially with the former basketball star who's not interested in getting back into the game, but I can live with that. That end title song is so epic.
