Much like most sports movies, the only way to keep from rehashing typical sports stories is along the lines of outright fantasy and escapist sentimentalities. Sure, this film isn't the best film to ever come out about kids, but it proved to live up to its farcical and comedic nature. Like the inner child in all of us, it is really hard to look down at the youthful exuberance of make believe. Lil Bow Wow's performance WAS natural and superb, considering the only acting he has ever done is for his mundane music videos. The player cameos were also funny, considering most of them couldn't act worth a lick. Lot's of boffo special effects, but sufficient nonetheless. Overall, a decent movie to watch at a matinee price.
