A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

its so funny because i always compare my love life to this movie. It was so good it made you actually feel like you were the character and it made you feel like you were the one going through the different motions and emotions. This was well written and the actors did a phenomenal job. I really loved the part at t he end when quincy says double or nothing proving to have never stopped thinking about her or loving her. I am a really big fan of both ms lathan and omar epps and i wish they would do another love movie together because their chemistry was crazy. Hence is the reason they dated in real life too. I can't blame ms lathan though because omar epps or should i say quincy sure is fine.

This by far is one of my all time favorite movies. Dreaming myself of playing in the WNBA not only does it inspire me, but he has a great love story behind it. "Love and Basketball" can have two meanings to it. The love for the game, and the love for a guy or girl. They have to decide which is more important, and how to keep both of them in their life. Throughout the movie, this couple is juggling between the two. While one will find a good relationship more important the other will find basketball more important, then it will switch. Finally in the end both couples realize that the love each other will help them go further in basketball and they still maintain both. In a way it can have a lot to do with real life, you have to figure out what is most important in your life. Monica in the movie proved herself as a basketball player. With her parents not believing in her she pushed on and ended up playing pro. With her love for the game and her love for 'her man' she made it that far. I love this movie, and if your a basketball fan then I suggest it to you

i love this movie.. actually i watching it now.. I love how it puts love into one of my favorite sports.. its so much fun to watch and you never get sick of watching it. It shows how Monica and Q have grown through the "quarters"in the movie.. This movie reminds me a lot of my first love, when we broke up I still loved him just as Monica did with Q.. My favorite part of this movie is when everything is going great with them and they are in college and their life just seems perfect. My least favorite part is when they are going through their crossroads because i hate to see people that are so in love break up. this is my favorite movie and i would recommend it to anyone!!!

"Love and Basketball" is one of the most feminist and non-stereotypical teen-through-20something movies I've ever seen. It's in effect a tribute to Title IX and the WBNA, casually showing a girl with basketball dreams, and how it affects her personal life and those around her. Highly recommended for teens! As good as Omar Epps was though, I thought he was a bit short to be believable as an NBA prospect.Except for one talky section of the movie towards the end where everyone pretty much says the obvious about their relationships, the rest of the character development is done visually and through situations and not one sports movie (or African-American) cliché. It is a date movie because both leads change. Stay through the credits to see a sweet shot at the end.I was girding for a hip hop soundtrack, but it's old school R & B all the way and lovely to listen to (complete with a wonderful line that the audience really appreciated: "Mom, why are you drinking? I haven't seen you drink so much since Marvin Gaye died." (originally written 5/6/2000)
