Reviews

Entertainment Weekly -
As is often the case with Lee, though, the film left me wishing for even more scenes of casual intimacy, still the most powerful way to carry any message.

Chicago Reader -
As usual, Lee tries many kinds of stylistic effects and uses wall-to-wall music (by Aaron Copland and Public Enemy); whats different this time is how personally driven the story feels.

San Francisco Chronicle -
He Got Game seems to cheer for integrity, honesty and hard work while playing up its own cheap thrills.
|
|
Salon -
Awkward and often downright silly, He Got Game is nonetheless heartfelt, a moving portrayal of a man who finds his long-lost son through faith, hope and basketball.

Slate -
Uneven, ludicrous, but--oh man!--fun to watch.
