The film doesn't always score with the big laughs, but even if it is no slamdunk, it is still reasonably entertaining.
Let me tell you something young blood... This movie fucking sucks! Worst movie of 2018 and 2017.
How in the fuck did they achieve $44 million at the box office and be nominated for Best Comedy Movie of 2018???
Was this a great film? Not by any stretch. Was it a fun film to watch and get a few laughs, yeah.
I tried to keep in mind that the majority of the main characters in this film were not played by true actors, but by current and former professional basketball players. That being said, I think they did a halfway decent job with it. Add on top that they were acting with loads of prosthetic makeup to make them appear much older than they are and I'll give them a little props.
Now, in terms of the writing and the overall flow of the film itself, I couldn't have been more disappointed. It was terribly predictable and if you've seen any underdog sports movie made in the last 100 years, you already know the plot of this film. When they showed the flashback of Dax getting blocked by Mookie as a kid, I started pondering which player on his team would get hurt in the final game and force him to face his demons to take that game-winning shot.
Lastly, the ESPN 30 for 30 intro was a cute touch along with Scott van Pelt throwing in some Sports Center spots and I'm glad these weren't overdone.
Is this going to win any awards? Probably not. At least not away from ESPN and the sports world.
Should these ballers stick to the court instead of the big screen? Probably.
If you're a fan of any of these players, you'll be entertained by this film, but don't look for any great groundbreaking film making.
A very weak "5/10" mainly based on giving a little credit to the players for pretending to be actors for a little bit.
It's definitely one of the worst movies of all-time i gave it 0.5/5 speechless how bad this movie is
Uncle Drew would have benefited more from being a mid to short film continuing on from the mistique that the Pepsi commercials gave off. It sadly falls short as a full length movie.
This was surprisingly good. I had a way better time than I was expecting. It's hard to believe that this is based of a soda commercial. The meta and NBA jokes are great and a lot of them land. The story is very cliché but means well. All the NBA players are decent actors too. Overall it's a fun movie that you will enjoy, especially if you like baseketball.
