This picture is packed with fun, but it doesn't really go anywhere.

A double-whammy slam-dunker of a movie.

This film unfolds in an uncommonly sweet, harmonious climate, one in which rude remarks are the sine qua non of friendship. And that benign atmosphere becomes a large part of its charm.

Basketball really isn't the central theme. It is really about relationships, loyalty and honesty, qualities in short supply among hustlers.
