Four aspects of this movie I enjoyed:
- The bear scene. I can’t help laughing when a man is mauled by a bear. Just can’t.
- The lead in montage that provides the whole back-story in about 2 minutes, thus relieving the viewer from having to sit through the invariable “They’re trying to take [ insert important gym, team, playground, etc ] away from us and we need to do [ X ] by [ enter ridiculously tight timeline ] to save it!”
- The interesting idea of what happens to fringe teams when their league is absorbed as was the ABA by the NBA.
- Inclusion of the 3-point shot for historical accuracy.
Despite these plus items, do yourself a favor and wait for this to play on a Tuesday night on Comedy Central or even until it makes its way to TBS. No need to rent this movie – even via Netflix.
I write this despite my normally enjoying Will Farrel flix.
Rob lives and works in the town of Jackson, MS where he leads the interactive department at an awesome advertising and branding agency. Life is slower than most places in Mississippi, and Rob tends to like it that way. Some of his favorite life experiences include sailing across the Atlantic Ocean in a 44ft sloop, learning to speak Swahili while living along the lower slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro, and zipping along the curviest of Mississippi country roads in his VW Rabbit.
