Watch Uncle Drew For Free

Absolutely the worst movie.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Like several of the jerseys so prominently displayed in the movie, "Uncle Drew" is a throwback, evoking the "heartwarming" sports comedies of the 70s ("Wild Cats," and "The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh" were two that came to mind frequently as I watched "Uncle Drew"). Playing on all the familiar tropes of this genre of story, the underdogs overcome personal and physical adversity in their quest to win our hearts and the BIG GAME. Of course, "Uncle Drew"'s (almost) unique twist on the brand is that the team is made up of old (REALLY old) men, seeking redemption for the big failure of their glory years. I call this ALMOST unique because in 2013 there was this movie called "The Hot Flashes" which used essentially the same premise. Only "The Hot Flashes" did it with women. And did it better. The primary plot device of "Uncle Drew" is also the movie's biggest failing; Because unlike with "The Hot Flashes," which was cast with real menopausal-aged women, the basketball players in "Uncle Drew" are too young to be convincing as a bunch of too old, out of playing-shape seniors. And most of "Uncle Drew"'s key scenes and best jokes rely on the audience buying into the conceit that these are old men. Giving credit where it is due, the roster of NBA and WNBA stars who make up most of "Uncle Drew"'s cast give credible acting performances; given that most of the dialogue is either scrupulously PG trash-talking, or GO-TEAM-RAH! encouragement, the script plays to their strengths. And "Uncle Drew" is entertaining in a Saturday matinee way. But in the end, the movie is insubstantial and doesn't deserve more than a wall niche in the pantheon of sports-centered comedies.And that is in spite of the fact that "Uncle Drew" tricked me into seeing Shaquille O'Neal's naked rear end.

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?

Worst movie of the year. really cringe-worthy. don't waste your time on this thrift store discount bin movie.

Uncle Drew had the potential to be a very good movie but Kyrie Irving's inability to mesh with super star talent spoiled it for me. Yes, I said it. Uncle Drew is Kyrie Irving and it wasn't hard to tell. Shaq was underutilized in the post and was too much of a dominant force to not play in the championship game. Kyrie's inability to play with superstars aka LeBron James was the cause for Shaq being sidelined with a heart attack for the final game... ultimately he might as well have just played with a bunch of Looney Tunes.
