I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

The movie is wildly uneven but lively and timely - in its own surreal way

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

I am definitely more of a movie fan than a basketball fan, thus I went in expecting a jock flick with a token relationship thrown in to justify the title. I could not have been more wrong. Unlike "He Got Game" (another very good film), which dwells solely on the negative aspects of the sport - hustlers, hookers, drugs and death, L&B concentrates on the positive things in life and basketball serves as the background rather than the focus. The story is very well written and works on several levels - it refuses to be pinned down as simply a romance or drama, choosing instead a careful blending of different elements. My only complaint - minor at that - would have to be the ending (and no I'm not going to tell you).First, how could I find fault with a film that actually does a great casting job with Tyra Banks? She has a small cameo role- she plays a beautiful stewardess, small stretch - with some great lines. Omar Epps brings his trademark cockiness to the role, and although it took me awhile to buy him as a basketball player -he's not exactly Goliath -he grows on you. More importantly, he exhibits and a depth and range that he's never shown before. Sanaa Lathan however, goes one step further, and demonstrates an intensity both on and off the court that puts her in a league all her own. Her performance can be summed up as superb. my all time favorite movie yall should make a sequal of this movie

Love & Basketball directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood, released in 2000 by 40 Acres & A Mule Filmworks, is a romance film that follows the love story of Monica Wright (Sanaa Lathan) and Quincy McCall (Omar Epps) and offers and emotional and sensual experience. Throughout the film, you feel the reality and intensity as a viewer. Although this film does not fit the usual fast-paced action, excitement, and adventure stereotype of this analytical approach, it can still be used because you can feel the intensity of Monica and Quincy's love throughout the whole movie. The diegesis of the film seems like a reality, and makes you forget that you're watching a film.One question raised by this analytical approach is "How powerful or intense is the film as an emotional or sensual experience?" The answer is very powerful. This film follows Monica and Quincy from the time they are 11 until they eventually get married. The ups and downs of their relationship, such as their first time "doing it" or when Monica suspected Quincy of cheating, are shown throughout the film. At any point in the film, you can feel the emotions of any actor as if it was happening to you. The film seems like a reality while you're watching it.Another two questions raised are "Where in the film are we completely wrapped up and involved in it's reality? Where is the film weakest in emotional and sensual intensity?" One example of when we are completely wrapped up in it's reality is during the first game we see Monica playing during her high school career. You feel the intensity as the clock is ticking. You can hear Monica talking to herself in her head. You see what she sees. One example of where the film is weakest in intensity is while they're at the dance. Since Monica isn't too fond of her date, you don't really get any emotional intensity.The final question raised is "What role does each of the film elements play in creating a hard-hitting emotional and sensual response?" There are many shot reverse shots in this film. They add to the hard-hitting emotional and sensual response by showing each actor's emotions. The fact that you can see how each actor reacts to other actors increases the emotional and sensual response that each viewer gets. In conclusion, Love & Basketball, is a film that delivers both an emotional and sensual experience. Each part of the film adds something else to it. Watching this film engulfs you in the whole diegesis. Its a film that you WON'T get tired of watching. I would definitely recommend that EVERYONE watch it. :)

This film was EXCELLENT !!!!!!!!!! I can't say a bad thing about it. It is one of my favourite films ever ! I have watched this film over and over again and I never get bored of it. These are the types of film that we need more of. The moral of the film was good. Even though it was a romantic film , it mixed the concept of basketball and romance together very well. I don't think any other actors could have played the characters as well as they did. That is why I couldn't do anything other than to give it a 10/10. And I am not a very easily pleased person. My favourite scene sex scene. I know that applys to many other people ( Don't worry I see you blushing)

LOVE AND BASKETBALL **** Thanks to Gina Prince-Bythewood's thoughtful script, this motion picture surpasses many other films of its kind. Set in Los Angeles, circa 1988, two college-bound basketball players have given their all for the sport through their years at high school. Now, in their senior year, they both strive to attain a scholarship so they can further excel in their finesse. What had first been a casual relationship between the two high schoolers eventually intensifies into a romantic bond that soon awakens them to the fact that, in any relationship, you have to prioritize your time between the one you love and the thing you love doing. The deeper, dramatic content of the story arises from the personal trials that the two leads are faced with as they move on to college, how the trials affect their performances on the court, and the difficulties that results in their separation. Gina takes us through a more deeply woven story than I had anticipated, as we follow the characters to their early peeks of adulthood. At which point, they realize the reality of their undying love for each other, and, for that matter, their rekindled love for the sport that drew them together.
