Love and Basketball is an absolutely great movie. It's a Sports drama mixed with a romance all in one. You get the excitement and relation to sport rolled up with romance and love. The actors play the characters perfectly and make it feel real throughout. The story is actually well written and makes sense throughout. Just a really good movie that never gets old. IMDb needs to stop making me write such long reviews and wasting my time when I can spend it better watching other good movies and reviewing them. Blah blah blah. IMDb is so annoying blah blah blah. Bahahahaia. Hahajakalmwnw d.hajajwjwjwjwjjahahahanwnnwnwjwjwjwjwhjwhwjwhwhwhwjwjjwhwwbwhwhwhwhwhhwhwhw.

A very different story about love and career choices and the obstacles women face in male dominated professions. What was most refreshing was that although the film will be lumped into the "black" film genre, it is by no means the stereotypical violent fare that Hollywood loves to dish out. Lathan and Epps are real actors cast in a movie that takes place in an upper middle class black neighborhood. Lathan a Yale graduate, is an exceptional actress that portrays the character Monica almost flawlessly. Lathan is a believable star athlete, who together with Epps creates a story that is inspirational and heart warming.

Like most, I have seen plenty of so-called love stories where girl very conveniently meets boy and they very conveniently fall "in love." Rarely have seen a film that actually reveals to me the REASON they fell in love. This love was about more than looks, it was about more than proximity, this love was about an unspoken connection that could not be denied. Every step of it was a leap of faith. And that's truly romantic.

This movie, Love and Basketball, is by-far the best movie I have seen!!!!! I love everything about this movie from the sports down to the romance and tear shedding. The thing I love the most is that this movie reminds me of me and my love. We grew up as arch rivals, but deep down inside knew we were feeling each other so we decided to keep it in. Pretty soon true feelings began to show and a relationship brewed... I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!! I just got finished watching it but I'm about to watch it again!!!! All is fair between Love and Basketball!!!
