A great watch even after several years. Really happy that I came back to this one! When I first saw this movie it was because I was up late at night and couldn't sleep.

It was showing on Showtime, and I decided to watch it because it was a sports movie. The movie has many characters, and it takes you into their lives one by one.

CityofNY 11 January While this movie isn't exactly "Hoosiers" or "Pride of the Yankees", it is a pretty good movie, a must see for every girl or boy who has dreams of playing big time college sports. This film chronicles the sad and pathetic existence of a second-tier college basketball coach Richard Lewis as he prepares for the big game.

Rather than preparing by running drills with the team, or going over special plays he catalogs his drug collection and scams on the local college girls. Everything culminates on game day, with one of the most unpredictable basketball games ever filmed. Richard Lewis is brilliant in this film. His "pep" talks to the basketball squad sound as if they were written by Mamet on his best and most cynical day. The delivery of one speech in particular is perfectly done, you will recognize it when you hear it.

This speech is the antithesis of every lame "rah-rah" game winning speech I have ever heard in a sports related movie. The tag line for this film is: "This ain't Hoosiers," and it is an apt one.

It is as if Steven Klein writer and director has seen every relevant sports film and passed judgment on them, banishing the sports film to a strange bizarro-world, then returning it, just recognizable. I rate this movie at the same level as Hollywood Knights Very watchable and movies that you and probably not many of your friends have seen or on Kodi. The main characters are priceless and I do not think they have ever reached the same level that they did in these movies. Steve Adler and Newbaum Turk are two great characters in b level movies that are really enjoyable.

The pot smoking scene with Steve is quite good. Richard's best work. A wonderfully funny film that can be watched more than once. Richard Lewis shows why he should be considered for many more parts than he has in the past. His range as an actor is confirmed by his performance in this wonderful look at college basketball.

The game sequence is one of the best I've ever seen in a sports movie as far as realistic play is concerned Despite the fantastic finish, the play of the game, the flow of it, is much more credible than any basketball film I've seen before but it is so much more still.
