olé, bitch. yeah this film was badass. it was a real treat to watch as an NBA fan. Juancho Hernangomez did superb as bo. i guess it helps that he was also an NBA player at the time and i guess the drive and passion for basketball really showed thru his portrayal of the character and yeah, it really just resonated with me. Adam Sandler as Stanley was freaking chef's kiss. the nuances of his character really showed and i guess there's just this weight that he brings to the character (not a fat joke). this is definitely one of my top fave performances from sandler.
Verdict: 🥈 SHOULD SEE I never thought I’d give a movie with Queen Latifah 4 stars, yet here we are.
