Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
Tockinit not horrible nor great
Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
tyeshahicks Glad I watched, real twist at the end and real eye opener as a young basketball player parent
gf-78 The storyline and acting are as square as can be. The slow mo gameplay footage clearly laughable with opponents clearly not attempting to block advances at all and letting the lead player through what looked like spaces wide as barn doors. Think how boxing scenes in third tier boxing movies always play out: the opponents don't bother to block or duck away from any oncoming punches, they also start turning their heads even before the punch lands... Writing seems to have been done by someone with no knowledge of neither basketball or reality. For instance: the new young rookie recruit asks if he will be a starter (starting 5 players) in his very first game for his new team. When and where has that ever happened? Also moral aspects are here poorly accentuated in spades. It all feels and reads like a poor Hallmark After School Special.
dukefan48 This may be a fictional movie, but it certainly seems like it could be a documentary. It certainly encapsulates what high school basketball has become, especially at top-level "schools".
Michael Botefuhr With today's internet use and brands investing billions, Amateur exposes the current basketball system. Wonderfully written and directed. Don't miss.
