Monica Wright and Quincy McCall grew up in the same neighborhood and have known each other since childhood.

shorteedomo This movies is mind- blowing, excellent,heart-rising and down to earth. The title of the movie really spoke for itself. Young kids growing up with loving each other and also loving basketball. I didn't know until this movie how basketball can impact of your life.It reminds me of me when i was little and was kind of like a tomboy but still had female feelings. There were a lot of different emotions spread without the film. Good? This movie was great and I even cried believing that they would be together at the end. It was like I was in the movie myself... Eyes glued to the T.V.I love how the families even though there were bad times, they were always there for the their children. These days if a young person announced that she was pregnant, she would be thrown out the house.There was even a part that linked to having sex for the first time. I feel that is how it should be taking it slow and not just rushing into something because he says your cute or if you love me have sex with me.The soundtrack of the movie was dominating and kept up with the story plot. Also the film includes a kind of unique visual style.The settings in this film make it to be a real life story.The dialogue spoken from the film is skilled and very well put together.
adriane_jefferson its so funny because i always compare my love life to this movie. It was so good it made you actually feel like you were the character and it made you feel like you were the one going through the different motions and emotions. This was well written and the actors did a phenomenal job. I really loved the part at t he end when quincy says double or nothing proving to have never stopped thinking about her or loving her. I am a really big fan of both ms lathan and omar epps and i wish they would do another love movie together because their chemistry was crazy. Hence is the reason they dated in real life too. I can't blame ms lathan though because omar epps or should i say quincy sure is fine.
Shorty This by far is one of my all time favorite movies. Dreaming myself of playing in the WNBA not only does it inspire me, but he has a great love story behind it. "Love and Basketball" can have two meanings to it. The love for the game, and the love for a guy or girl. They have to decide which is more important, and how to keep both of them in their life. Throughout the movie, this couple is juggling between the two. While one will find a good relationship more important the other will find basketball more important, then it will switch. Finally in the end both couples realize that the love each other will help them go further in basketball and they still maintain both. In a way it can have a lot to do with real life, you have to figure out what is most important in your life. Monica in the movie proved herself as a basketball player. With her parents not believing in her she pushed on and ended up playing pro. With her love for the game and her love for 'her man' she made it that far. I love this movie, and if your a basketball fan then I suggest it to you
brittney7717 i love this movie.. actually i watching it now.. I love how it puts love into one of my favorite sports.. its so much fun to watch and you never get sick of watching it. It shows how Monica and Q have grown through the "quarters"in the movie.. This movie reminds me a lot of my first love, when we broke up I still loved him just as Monica did with Q.. My favorite part of this movie is when everything is going great with them and they are in college and their life just seems perfect. My least favorite part is when they are going through their crossroads because i hate to see people that are so in love break up. this is my favorite movie and i would recommend it to anyone!!!
