    The New York Times | Dana Stevens

    But even though, most of the time, you know exactly what will happen next -- you don't much mind. Nor do the many plot holes and improbabilities -- undermine its silly, raucous spirit. Read full review

    USA Today | Mike Clark

    This isn't the worst movie Warner Bros. has brought out this summer (Scooby-Doo, boo on you), but for it to work, you have to accept the irredeemable stupidity of almost every character. Time better spent: a Shaquille O'Neal film festival on video. Read full review

    Chicago Sun-Times | Roger Ebert

    Predictable to its very core, and in a funny way the predictability is part of the fun. The movie is in on the joke of its own recycling. Read full review

    Boston Globe |

    It is Kevin Pollak who steals what there is of a show as Jamal's passive-aggressive, pressure-cooked agent. His comedic timing, particularly given the thinness of the script, is the only genuinely impressive slam dunk this movie has to offer. Read full review

    A postseason basketball comedy that shoots and misses at a rate that would embarrass even the Los Angeles Clippers. Read full review

    Women had to struggle for years to launch their own basketball league; it's a shame that the first movie to address their success is a drag comedy, and a lousy one at that. Read full review

    Entertainment Weekly | Owen Gleiberman

    As anyone who has peered in on the actual WNBA for five minutes knows, professional women basketball players are as tough as men. That the film treats this as a joke isn't funny -- it's the height of lame condescension. Read full review

    Washington Post | Desson Thomson

    If this sounds like "Tootsie" with a ball, well, it is. Screenwriter Bradley Allenstein should be hauled up in writer's court for his shameless cribbing of that far superior comedy. Someone call a foul. Read full review

    When the outtakes at the end don't make you laugh, what does that tell you about the movie that preceded them? Read full review

    Variety | Dennis Harvey

    Bringing absolutely no fresh angles to a time-tested formula that's seemed particularly overworked of late. Read full review


Information for Parents
Common Sense Media says Iffy for 12+ Cross-dressing sports comedy has lockerroom humor.
What Parents Need to Know Parents need to know that this movie has a lot of raunchy humor, mostly revolving around Jamal's anatomical differences from his teammates, but pretty typical for the increasingly graphic PG-13 rating.
  • Families can talk about the behavior that got Jamal fired from his team at the beginning of the movie. How would the average person have been treated? Also, how does Jamal's attitude toward -- and treatment of -- women change over the course of the movie? What does he learn?
What to watch for
  • violence false0 Violence: Not an issue
  • sex false3 Sex: Sometimes raunchy sexual humor
  • language false3 Language: Some strong language
  • consumerism false0 Consumerism: Not an issue
  • drugsalcoholtobacco false3 Drinking, drugs and smoking: Drinking and general overindulgence
