coming for you

I really enjoyed this movie. I laughed and cried....very well done. The cinematography of the movie was just beautiful. I highly recommend this one....

This must be the least inspiring sports movie I have ever watched. It had all the ingredients but lacked emotion. The movie falls flat and fails to inspire any emotion or connect with the story or characters. At times it kind of feels lazy and takes things for granted. It tried hard to be like Rocky but fails at every level. Sandlot was the only reason I watched it till the end and even that was a tough task. Hardly feel any connect with the characters. Overall a average movie.

I found myself engulfed in this movie at the theater. The story transitioned well from scene to scene. There's a lot of NBA players who show up in the movie and they did a good job acting. My only complaint is Juancho Hernangómez and his "family" speaking in the film. It's really hard to understand them because of their thick accents. I personally needed subtitles, but of course there were no subtitles at the movie theater. But he did a good job acting. I actually quite enjoyed this film. People who have a great knowledge of basketball will notice some "underground" basketball legends like The Professor and Bone Collector from the old school And1 mixtape tours. Adam Sandler yells in the film. You know you were looking forward to it. It wouldn't be an Adam Sandler film without it. LOL. But in all seriousness, there's not much yelling. Adam Sandler's other basketball movie "Uncut Gems" was 90% yelling. Like every character was speaking in their angry voice for 2 hours. This movie was way better than Uncut Gems.

If you're like me and enjoy feel good sports movies you will enjoy this. Seems like years since anyone got one right. The way it ends is a little bit flat, but still enjoyable. I know some bag on him, but I'm enjoying this new era Adam Sandler. He pulls it off.

Adam Sandler is better at serious acting in dramas then he is at comedies and this movie proves that yet again. Any bad? Even if you arent into basketball (or sports) whatsovever, this movie could still win you over, because this story has got so much HEART and SOUL. The good: Great acting performances, touching direction, uplifting and real and intimate story about how (NOT) dealing with your own hurt, can make or break your dreams. The story: Adam Sandler plays a basketball scout, who ruined his own basketball player career because of only 1 mistake in his personal life. Now Adam Sandler has found an unknown basketball player, who carries a criminal past with him, that prevents him from becoming succesfull as well. Will Adam Sandler succeed in giving this kid a chance at success, which he himself never achieved?

"I love this game. I live this game." Stanley Sugerman (Adam Sandler) Hustle is a commanding Netflix original that nudges the formulaic "Hoop Dreams" out of its comfort zone into an entertaining drama that emphasizes ambition, brotherly love (set in Philadelphia after all), and familial support, traits that could apply to any underdog struggling against immense forces. Stanley Sugerman is a has-been scout for the '76ers who discovers a Madrid street champion, Bo Cruz (Juancho Hernangomez), and promotes him in the states for the NBA, eventually using his own funds to bring him over. Although the usual cliches like a cocky antagonist Kermit Wilts (Minnesota Timberwolves teammate Anthony Edwards) and a dismissive owner Vince Merrick (Ben Foster) are there, Sandler, eschewing his usual over-the-top comic shtick, gives warmth and sincerity (he loves basketball anyway) to make the challenges believable and him a hero. Just look at the sweet meet between Stanley's family and Bo's to see how deftly director Jeremiah Zugar (from South Philly) swings from a saccharine take to a modest, loving union of people who understand the unifying nature of Bo and Stanley's ambition. After seeing Sandler in his tour de force Uncut Gems (Also Netflix), I am a Sandler fan who believes Sandler has moved almost instantaneously from comic to dramatic (well, maybe that fast if you consider his performance in Punch Drunk Love). If you're young an unimpressed with my praise, perhaps these ingredients will help you to tune it in: Multiple cameos of other NBA stars, LeBron James a producer, and gritty, electric streetball games; the use of social media to get the attention of indifferent NBA bigwigs. For me, seeing Sandler as a warm and flawed human being play beside an equally affecting Hernangomez, is worth a warm evening enjoying, as we all did with the similarly-based Rocky, seeing humans striving to be more than they are.
