    The Longshots

    by 4abycats

    I really enjoyed this movie. One of Ice Cube's best perfomances as an actor, and producer. The story has been told many times, and in many ways, but it wasn't about sports, or the fact that a girl played football, it was about the importance and the impact a father has on his child. Very heartwarming, and I left the theater in a good mood.

    Good family movie

    by mazaru

    I went on request from my 8yr old daughter, and was worried for two reasons: Fred Durst directed it, and the critics seemed to hate it. But the Limp Bizkit front man did "enough" to satisfy my daughter, and impress me, since i went in expecting to see some of his horrid video ideas. I usually judge a movie made for kids BY the kids reaction. My daughter and 6 yr old son were thoroughly entertained, so mission accomplished in that respect.
