Love + Basketball = Life (+ DVD Review)

Recommended it? Yes

According to writer / director Gina Prince, love and basketball do not go hand in hand because each element is too time consuming on its own. On the other hand, her film, Love and Basketball, works beautifully, combining convincing and endearing acting with a sweet and engaging story.

Pros a wonderful and sweet love story
Cons slow moving at times
Recommended it? Yes

I just saw Love and Basketball last night. We saw the movie because we had seen the previews and it looked like a love story with some basketball. My husband is into the sports and I am into the love, so it was a perfect match.

The movie opens when Monica and Q are 11 years old. It shows... Read full review »

Pros An O.K. Chick Flick
Cons Dragged Out Forever, But my wife loved it.
Recommended it? Yes

This was not a movie, that me and my friends just decided to go see. We got caught up into it like many of you probably do. Well we wanted to go see Frequency, but our wives wanted to see Love And Basketball saying 'Oh you guys will like it.' Yeah, that's what they say everytime. But you cannot... Read full review »

Love and Basketball is the most unexpectedly pleasurable film I?ve seen in a long while. Fittingly told in four quarters, it is the story of man and woman who have shared a love for the game of basketball ever since they met as 11-year-olds, and follows their relationship through the years...

Pros great casting, great story line
Cons none
Recommended it? Yes

I have been wanting to write an opinion on this movie for quite some time but the words I come up with never quite do the movie justice. This was one of the most entertaining movies I have rented this year. I'm not big on any sport except NASCAR and if I had to choose the sport I hated the most,... Read full review »

Pros Good Acting, Sweet Story
Cons Kind Of Long
Recommended it? Yes

On a girls night out, my friends persuaded me into seeing this movie called Love and Basketball. I really didn't want to go. I thought it was just about basketball (a sport I don't particularly enjoy), and I completely ignored the "love" part. But after sitting through this movie I can truly say... Read full review »

Hoop Dreams

Pros Epps and Lathan are engaging; Bythewood's nuanced, character-based direction.
Cons A fourth quarter that wears out its welcome.
Recommended it? Yes

Love & Basketball is a rather plain title for this simple love story. But given how the two are often intertwined into the lives of so many people in our current culture, you could basically call the film Life and it would be as equally descriptive.

This refreshingly character-driven pic... Read full review »

Pros Great 80's rap soundtrack, plus the Clipper references.
Cons Far too little basketball.
Recommended it? No

I knew this movie was going to be kind of cheeseball from the trailers. I mean...strip 21...I don't think so. Nevertheless, I rented it because my roommate stng wanted to check it out. Plus, even though it was going to be bad, it had ballin' in it, and we had to keep it real.

The story... Read full review »

Sitting by the window in the last row of the airplane, which I hear is the safest place to sit. I think that's because if the plane starts breaking up in mid-air, I'm pretty sure that I read somewhere that the tail section will more often than not function as a single unit and land safely on...

Pros great movie!
Cons absolutely nothing

Ok, I'll admit that I was a little resistant to the idea of going to watch the movie Love and Basketball. Well...more like extremely resistant. In fact, I refused to go to the theatre to watch it. My first viewing of the film was at school. I attend college and it was on the university's channel... Read full review »
