Crossover (2006)

The movie Crossover, stars nobody special, doesn't have a good director/writer. But there is one thing that's great about it.The basketball.The 3+ basketball scenes in the movie are great. Especially the ones in the beginning and end.Unfortunately, that's the only thing going for it. The movie has some pretty bad writing. The only thing enjoyable about the writing is some of the ridiculous plot twists. But I will admit, I was surprised with them.And by the end of the movie, I was actually surprised with how I ultimetly felt about it.Not that I thought it was good, but I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it.If you enjoy basketball, or enjoy movies like You Got Served, then this is your movie.Sadly for me, I just love basketball.

So my friend leaves me with his little brother while he goes to pick up his girlfriend from work. His 9 year old brother decides he wants to play me his favorite movie in the whole wide world. Crossover. I get through the first 20 minutes predicting everything that is about to happen. Everything seems so cliché. I almost thought they were going off all improv but than I quickly realized that it was in fact just a horrible script.So I make it all the way up till the first encounter with Jewelz who is played by Hot Sauce from the And 1 tapes. I then make up an excuse to go outside so I can smoke some weed hoping that the movie would get better if I was stoned.I WAS WRONG. All the weed did was make me thirsty and laugh hysterically at the horrible acting. I feel sorry for Wayne Brady because this is a career ending movie.

First of all, if the reason you are watching this movie is to be thrilled by gunshots, fast cars sweeping by, a masked man parachuting down leaving behind a dust of smoke after a bomb explodes .. Then this is not your cuppa tea .This is a good, clean movie, with moral lessons that is being told with subtlety, which is good to anyone watching this movie. Lessons on friendship, the priorities in lives, knowing that there will always be people that will treat you right & those that only used you for their own benefit.The movie is indeed predictable, but only on the fact that the kids will excel in their live. Other than that, the storyline is interesting, with twists & unexpected turns of event . Who'd know that Cruise wasn't that bad after all, & that Nicole isn't what she seems to be .Yeah, there are things that could be better, i.e Wayne Brady would have to act with more class to be a bookie instead of looking like a blur guy driving around to get the betting money. But it is quite an act, considering the fact that he's always been linked to that comedy show (Wayne Brady show) that it'll be hard to try a different genre of acting. Nice try, however.I like the music, the slow mo shots when trying to dunk the ball, the smooth ways of faking the moves, wanting to do trick the opponents. It's cool ! With that being said, I recommend this movie to be watched. It is good clean movie, with a subtle way to send the moral message to the audience.

This movie was literally, the worst movie i have ever seen in my entire lifeMy 7 year old son( children tend to say every new movie they watch is their favorite ) said he wanted to leave because it was so stupid.I went to see this because I got free tickets and i was bored, i didn't no much about the movie but 10 minutes into the movie i swear i almost yelled at the people leaving early to stop talking. People were leaving early!!This movie was soo horrible it almost made me wanna throw up.0/10 if there was a 0
