Steinesongo Too many fans seem to be blown away

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

rob-765 one of the best docs about one of the best ball players to never make it to the NBA. he jumps over cars and dunks but his skills on the court are not enough to keep him on the right path. The kind of film that changes lives. You get to see a man transform his life from a great ball player to someone who is an inspiration to many off the court. Great prison footage of life behind bars. Gary Payton, Jason Kidd, Antonio Davis and many other NBA greats talk about Hook and his level of ball being better than Iverson and Marbury and having the tenacity of a Michael Jordan. Hook appears to have been the greatest 5'9 player to ever get on the court. Legend has it that he has a 50 inch vertical. There's bonus footage on the DVD of Master P, Steve Francis and Baron Davis talking about Hook being the best player they have ever seen. Reebok and the NBA are sponsors of the film. It's right up there with Hoop Dreams.

Jeff Hoop Dreams as a documentary stands out to me as the king of sports documentaries, and I truly doubt that it will be replaced by another film anytime soon. It was simply an amazing production of an incredible set of events that the producers had no idea would occur.However, mentioning Hoop Dreams is not meant to belittle this film, but instead to say that it comes very close in quality, content, and film production. I received this film from a friend in DVD form, and was instantly taken by the story.Being a South Bay native, I'm naturally drawn to Bay Area sports stars, and I had no idea this man existed until this film was presented to me. Without giving away key story points, I'll just say that it was very sad, but uplifting in way that only sadness can lead you too. The producers did an excellent job in getting big name players who were exposed to the legend of Hook Mitchell to talk about him and his athletic prowess on camera. Also interviewed are family members, friends, and members of the basketball community.Highlighted by archive footage of Hook, this film is clearly for any lover of street ball, and additionally it plays well to anyone who can identify with the human condition.Impressive film. I give it one of my very rare 10/10s for total satisfaction.
