This movie reminded me exactly of the movie 'Rookie of the Year'. It had the same plot basically: A young kid gets the opportunity of a lifetime to be a sports star at such a young age. This was a great movie though! Lil' Bow Wow did a surprisingly great job! And Jonathan Lipnicki was great too! 'Like Mike' is a great film for all ages! It is both uplifting and funny. You'll really enjoy this movie.
