It is really sad when a 15 year old kid can ride the coat tales of his uncle (Snoop Dog) not only to a record career but now a film career. This film is the typical tale of a poor kid becoming a star, through of all things, shoes (which he climbs up a tree in the middle of a lightning storm to go get, I am sure parents will love that part). After he gets his magical shoes he becomes a super basketball player. Now if this plot sounds familiar, well it is, it`s call Rookie of the Year and it was done many years ago.
To be fair the acting isn`t half bad, I would definitly consider Lil`Bow Wow a better actor than rapper. I do feel bad for his co-star Morris Chestnut who has the look of "I just don`t want to be here" on his face for the entire film. Chesnut is a good actor and deserves more than this. I won tickets to screening of this film, but after watching it I didn`t feel like a winner, I felt like I wanted the 90 minutes of my life back.
