That was an excellent one.

I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

UNCLE DREW is great if you like basketball & wacky comedy. It's the Kyrie Irving Pepsi commercials with Heart, Dank Make-Up, & Nostalgia Feels turned up to an Eleven. The cast has fun with their roles, and you'll have fun too if you don't take it too seriously. You'll leave feeling happy & needing to reconnect with old friends. Stay for Mid-credits blooper reel. I give it an "OG & Youngblood approval" rating. #UncleDrew #RatedPG13 #GioseesMovies

But can't get passed the cash grab idiocy. Is this equality... after all these years...? Had to leave theater to get away from Tiffany "watch your balls" Haddish's over used rubbish ghetto slap voice. That and getting tired of "White boy..." slurs. Or, okay, I guess is all good. So, where was the "Black boy..." lines? We all equal, right?

As a movie, I'd give it about 6 stars. As a basketball fan I give the basketball scenes and line up 8 Stars. Wish they'd showed more. I did enjoy how they extended the Pepsi promos with a decent storyline. Enjoyed the cast and some of the inside basketball humor. The teenagers beside me didn't get the timeout joke by the preacher. A decent way to spend a couple of hours during the dog days of summer.

'UNCLE DREW': Three and a Half Stars (Out of Five)The hit sports comedy starring NBA legend Kyle Irving as the title character, based on a role he played in Pepsi Max commercials (in 2012). The film also costars former NBA stars Shaquille O'Neal, Chris Webber, Reggie Miller, Nate Robinson, and former WNBA star Lisa Leslie. Lil Rel Howery, Tiffany Haddish, Nick Kroll, Erica Ash and Mike Epps also costar in the movie. It was directed by Charles Stone III, and written by Jay Longino. The film tells the story of a group of elderly former basketball players who enter the Rucker Classic together, to recapture their glory days, with the help of an outcast loser coach. It's gotten mostly positive reviews from critics, and it's also a modest hit at the Box Office as well. I enjoyed it mostly. Dax (Howery) is a bullied and broke coach, who's still haunted by a game he blew years earlier. His longtime rival, Mookie (Kroll), steals Dax's team and his superficial girlfriend (Haddish). Then Dax meets streetball legend Uncle Drew (Irving), and he convinces the former basketball star to enter the Rucker Classic with him. The two go on a road trip together, to collect the rest of Uncle Drew's old elderly teammates. The movie is mostly amusing, from start to finish. It's definitely not hilarious (in my opinion), but it's always at least mildly funny (and amusing). The characters are likable and all worth rooting for (except for Kroll and Haddish obviously), but the film is extremely formulaic and unoriginal too. I'd still say it's mostly worth watching though, especially if you're a basketball fan (which I'm not).
