ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
northcarolinatom As a long-time girls' basketball and track coach on the junior high and high school levels, I enjoyed the movie. Although it was not technically sound in its portrayal of the game, it did show successfully the determination and dedication of young athletes. I especially liked the opening scene which showed the power workout before breakfast. I also liked how it shows the increasing interest in girls' sports. The movie was a feel-good movie that could be used to motivate young girls to pursue their talents in competitive sports; it could also be used to teach young boys that girls too work hard and long to achieve their dreams and need recognition too. It also teaches how important it is to get over jealousy and to make sacrifices.
MovieAddict2016 The problem with this movie is that the sisters - supposedly twins - look NOTHING alike.The film is based on the true-life-story of WNBA stars Heather and Heidi Burge, who overcame sexism etc. to accomplish their goal of being basketball players.The film is okay, and I'm more than pleased that family films can stick to the old formula - no swearing, violence, sex, etc., but a good-natured family film with values - but the film itself is poorly written and acted.It's good that films like these can still be made, but the problem lies with (a) bad directors, (b) bad scripts, (c) bad actors, and (d) low budgets that would make "The Blair Witch Project" blush.The fact that Disney will not release films like these into theaters tells us something: they are either too ashamed to release something with actual TASTE, or they are serving to a new generation, THAT THEY CREATED, plain and simple.Family films used to be good, but since Disney started making "babysitter" films off of classics (i.e. "The Jungle Book 2," "101 Dalmations 2," et cetera...), kids have gotten used to minimum entertainment. They no longer realize what quality films are because CORPORATIONS LIKE DISNEY TAUGHT THEM TO NOT KNOW ANY BETTER. They accept lousy movies because they have been taught to.Perhaps some day we will see a change, but all I see is continual downfall.This is the reason I praise movies like "Toy Story" so much - they can stick to the old-fashioned way of entertainment: quality.As for "Double Teamed"...unfortunately, despite some good qualities, the film just doesn't make it to a high level...2/5 stars -John Ulmer
Melissa Andrews This film was great! I love basket ball, so I was very excited to see that Disney had made a film about basket ball! This movie has a great plot, and has more than one conflict going on at once, so it stays interesting. The only problem with this film is that Heather and Hedi look nothing like twins. Heather has a longer face and thinner nose than Hedi. Heather also has a deeper voice. I know this doesn't sound like much, but it's very noticable in the movie. Other that that, this movie is great! 9/10
guitarchick0074 This movie is awsome.I highly recomend it to anyone whos into sports,WNBA or just want a clean Disney movie.Its a definatly must see movie!Annie Mcelwain and Poppi Monroe are totally awsome.These girls really tell the story of Heather and Heidi Burge!I think that this movie will hopefully inspire more girls to go out for the basketball team,and/or learn more about the WNBA!
