The Top 40 Basketball Movies - #30 Amateur
I didn't even know this existed until searching for basketball movies and it popped up on Netflix. I had no idea what to expect, the intro trailer they used looked interesting enough to check out. Basically the life of a young, talented up and coming kid. He deals with things like not being able to read numbers, unhelpful teammates and parental issues. Pretty decent basketball here and it was shot well. I liked his coach (Josh Charles) and the ending was kind of unique. The movie does touch on the corruption side of things and does constantly have to deal with his father's shadow. I'm a little lower on this than the consensus, but it's our first positive Rotten Tomatoes score. It would still be a hard recommend to a casual viewer.
