    This picture is packed with fun, but it doesn't really go anywhere.

    A double-whammy slam-dunker of a movie.

    This film unfolds in an uncommonly sweet, harmonious climate, one in which rude remarks are the sine qua non of friendship. And that benign atmosphere becomes a large part of its charm.

    Basketball really isn't the central theme. It is really about relationships, loyalty and honesty, qualities in short supply among hustlers.

    A hilarious white-black buddy comedy that manages to not feel completely contrived. Snipes is excellent.
