    Missed me like a brick!
    A basketball player faces the challenges of family, love and his pursuit of NBA dreams.

    The plot development isn't effective and with some questionable acting, unnecessary scenes that doesn't add to the plot nor theme. The film simply doesn't deliver a convincing story. The love story is mediocre and the issue/ antagonist isn't developed properly

    The basketball scenes are decent, but there isn't much being shown.

    If you enjoy basketball films, this isn't one I would recommend you add to your list. The faults outweigh the positive.

    With an abrupt ending and mediocre execution of the plot, Boogie doesn't live up to any hype it was given. Decent basketball footage and some mixture of songs but the poor acting serves vital when rating this film. Issa no for me dawg.
