Was this a great film? Not by any stretch. Was it a fun film to watch and get a few laughs, yeah.

I tried to keep in mind that the majority of the main characters in this film were not played by true actors, but by current and former professional basketball players. That being said, I think they did a halfway decent job with it. Add on top that they were acting with loads of prosthetic makeup to make them appear much older than they are and I'll give them a little props.

Now, in terms of the writing and the overall flow of the film itself, I couldn't have been more disappointed. It was terribly predictable and if you've seen any underdog sports movie made in the last 100 years, you already know the plot of this film. [spoiler]When they showed the flashback of Dax getting blocked by Mookie as a kid, I started pondering which player on his team would get hurt in the final game and force him to face his demons to take that game-winning shot.[/spoiler]

Lastly, the ESPN 30 for 30 intro was a cute touch along with Scott van Pelt throwing in some Sports Center spots and I'm glad these weren't overdone.

Is this going to win any awards? Probably not. At least not away from ESPN and the sports world.

Should these ballers stick to the court instead of the big screen? Probably.

If you're a fan of any of these players, you'll be entertained by this film, but don't look for any great groundbreaking film making.

A very weak "5/10" mainly based on giving a little credit to the players for pretending to be actors for a little bit.
