Synopsis:
After draining his life savings to enter a team in the Rucker Classic street ball tournament in Harlem, Dax (LilRel Howery) is dealt a series of unfortunate setbacks, including losing his team to his longtime rival (Nick Kroll). Desperate to win the tournament and the cash prize, Dax stumbles upon the man, the myth, the legend Uncle Drew (NBA All-Star Kyrie Irving) and convinces him to return to the court one more time. The two men embark on a road trip to round up Drew’s old basketball squad (Shaquille O’Neal, Chris Webber, Reggie Miller, Nate Robinson, and Lisa Leslie) and prove that a group of septuagenarians can still win the big one.

Recommendation:
There might not be anything new about an underdog sports comedy, but this one is entertaining enough even for viewers. It is a simple movie that talks about basketball and that the older generation should not be underestimated. This movie is likely to watch with family or friends.

Rating: 10/10

“It’s a total sports movie, but it’s got a lot of liveliness to it and watching these guys play off of each other is fun.” – Fresh Tomatoes, 2018
