I wanted to but couldn't!

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Please Please Please tell me you have seen this movie. I can watch this movie ovvver and ooover again. I hope to create a major similar for the next generation.

This movie is one of my favorite films. It came out in the year of 2000. I gave this movie a 10 because i like this film,it shows the passion that both Q and Monica has for basketball. To me, its cute. I just love the way they grew up together and in the end how they had a baby. This movie shows many things. It shows passion, love and determination for what they want. The first time i watched this movie i wasn't really paying attention. I had to watched this movie over and over again to grip the concept or the moral of this love story. I honestly loved how they both acted in this movie. I love the determination. To me its crazy because they didn't only focus on basketball, but they focused on other things in life other than themselves or each other. I also enjoyed this film because its some what realistic. Im pretty sure many people out there in the world love this movie for all the right reason. I must say that i had to give a standing ovation to the director/writer. I so love this movie, Its awesome!

While I found some of the dialog to be silly, I found the plot and acting to be very good.It's not really my kind of movie, but I got sucked in by the performances by the cast. The actress (Lathan?) who played the part of the female lead was excellent.The movie feels like it runs a bit slow in spots, but I think it's simply because it covers years of the character's lives. Some scenes are going to be better than others obviously, so don't dismiss the movie, if like me, you don't care for every scene.I was much more interested in the life story of the female lead, and what she did with her basketball talent than the love story. I think partly that's due to the love story being fragmented. Which is, again, a result of covering years in a movie - the script writer has to pick and choose what events are most important.A few of the supporting roles I did not care for as much. Her mom's character's personality made no sense to me. She seemed to take no pride whatsoever in her daughter's sports career, yet was a loving mom - to me, that was too much of a dichotomy. The male leads father never made sense to me either.I think most people could enjoy this movie for the solid acting involved, and it's certainly better than 90% of the junk movies I have seen lately while unemployed (I watch a lot of movies :))

This by far is one of my all time favorite movies. Dreaming myself of playing in the WNBA not only does it inspire me, but he has a great love story behind it. "Love and Basketball" can have two meanings to it. The love for the game, and the love for a guy or girl. They have to decide which is more important, and how to keep both of them in their life. Throughout the movie, this couple is juggling between the two. While one will find a good relationship more important the other will find basketball more important, then it will switch. Finally in the end both couples realize that the love each other will help them go further in basketball and they still maintain both. In a way it can have a lot to do with real life, you have to figure out what is most important in your life. Monica in the movie proved herself as a basketball player. With her parents not believing in her she pushed on and ended up playing pro. With her love for the game and her love for 'her man' she made it that far. I love this movie, and if your a basketball fan then I suggest it to you
