2.9? Really? Come on, that’s not being fair, this was a decent movie
I know that this movie is getting a lot of hate, but I still wanted to check out The Longshots, once again, this is a movie that I am just baffled by all the hate. I thought this movie was actually decent and watchable, I know that the main reason why this movie is getting the bad reviews from IMDb users is because of Fred Durst, not to mention that everyone seems to hate Ice Cube’s career choices. But honestly, this movie was inspiring and uplifting, there wasn’t any harm done in this movie and it was different from other sport movies. We are used to the underdog usually being a guy in these movies, it’s because of race, money, looks, or mental disabilities, for once we have a movie about the pressures of being a girl who is into sports who also enjoys being a girlie girl as well. The Longshots is also fun to watch and doesn’t fall flat or becomes predictable like most sports movies.

Jasmine Plummer is a loner at her school, always having her head in a book, her mother works long hours and her father abandoned them. Her mom asks Curtis, Jasmine’s father’s brother, to babysit her after school while she’s working, Curtis complains all the way and even has to be paid to do the job. But when Curtis plays ball with the town minister, he discovers that Jasmine has quite an arm and makes her try out for the football team while he trains her. Jasmine takes back the team’s loosing streak and she and Curtis start to finally love each other.

The Longshots isn’t movie of the year and it’s not the best sports movie either, but I thought it was a decent movie to watch. Like I said, it’s different and I thought for what everyone was expecting, Fred Durst did a good job of directing and Ice Cube is a lovable character that makes a great role model. I would recommend The Longshots for a matinée or a rental, don’t take the IMDb rating so seriously, because I think it’s just one of those hater’s issues where the people who think it’s going to be bad automatically just vote 1 without seeing it. So give this movie a fair chance, it’s a good family movie to watch.

6/10

Not surprisingly good movie
The only complaint I have is that the biggest gaffe of all has you following the dots- on Keke Palmer’s face. In many scenes her acne is more than apparent while seconds later you’re left wondering when she slapped on the miracle cream. It’s VERY distracting. Also not her fault.

Otherwise, Keke pulls off her part of this true life story of Pop Warner’s first female quarterback wonderfully. Ice Cube’s character, her uncle, develops realistically when it comes to his relationship with his niece.

We had the choice of seeing this or Journey to the Center of the Earth in 3-D. I LOVE Brandon Fraser, but we were not disappointed in our choice. Our ten year-old son has heard the word “a*s” before, so that part really didn’t bother me. The movie also contains teachable moments for parents to afterward discuss: how school can be rough when it comes to teasing and being made fun of.

Fred Durst, yes, THE bad boy Fred Durst of music fame, did a credible job as well, proving he is multi-talented and can handle a family movie.

All in all, the movie was well paced, nothing “dragged”, and other than the above mentioned continuity issue our entire family enjoyed the movie.
