The Top 40 Basketball Movies - #35 Hurricane Season
I'm a pretty big Forest Whitaker fan and the premise seemed at least mildly interesting. Maybe not We Are Marshall territory but hurricane Katrina seemed like a good no one believes in us story background. I disagree with the consensus pretty far here even though it was a straight to DVD movie. A 69 for the Rotten Tomatoes audience and the highest IMDB score so far doesn't bode too well for my future picks. It was hard to get interested in these characters though or the movie in general. The payoff wasn't close to what I wanted but my biggest gripe seems to be that they have these essentially weather reports and actual footage of the hurricane spliced in, which kind of takes you out of the movie. This was a real event, here is some real news and devastation, now back to your based on true events basketball movie. We aren't going to show you the complete devastation but trust us, with basketball.. everything is alright. Lil Wayne is in here for some reason. I like the storyline of conflicting students and previous rivals having to come together to form this team. The coach not wanting his players to transfer didn't go over too well.
