kai ringler this movie tells the true story of an 11 yr old black girl who is the first girl ever to play on a Pop Warner football team, and she plays qb as well. Ice Cube does a great job in the film I thought, he plays an uncle who is taking care of his niece because the real dad is either in prison, or away somewhere not taking care of his child. the girl has to go thru many struggles to make it on the team, and at first she really doesn't like her uncle or even get along with him for that matter,, but he was a football player, so he decides one day to play catch with her,, and the two start throwing the football around, and he sees something in her that he used to have,, so he coaches her up and low and behold we got the girl trying out for the football team.. great family movie and should not be missed.

AndyVa A very moving and uplifting story that can truly carry the tag "Against All Odds". This is another example that shows a decent movie can be made without sex, nudity, extreme violence and vulgar language. It may not be a blockbuster movie with allot of star power, but you won't be disappointed. It's a very good family movie for all ages and is still written well with very good acting. I would put this movie in the same category as "Finding Forrester"; another great sports related movie with an unknown actor playing the role of a character with a special talent, but meets resistance while trying to advance in life. The Longshots follows this same storyline and is a good (true story) movie about a small town girl who's father has left her and her mother, but finds the father figure she needs in her uncle. It shows how a talented small town girl can gain success when given the chance by society along with the love and support from family.

curtisjanetta414 this was an interesting family film,and for the most part it was well done.It was decent,no bad language,so it was great for all to see. I think it was obvious that it was all males behind the scenes ,perhaps it would have had a better solid feel to it ,if it would have had a woman director?Just a thought. Some of the scenes felt off.As a female athlete who once played football,it seemed somewhat off, but overall the acting was good,and at times very funny. The development of the relationship between the uncle and niece was actually pretty well done.Overall a good sports movie,about looking at what we have and not at what we don't have.

robertallenandersonjr The Longshots was a great family movie. In my opinion it was one of the greatest sports movies. This was a movie the whole family can enjoy. It was not very long at all. So that was a good thing about the movie along with the acting. The movies story was explained very well. It had a very good story to it as well. It was very heartwarming and a harmless movie. It even had many fun laughs. The jokes were original and the movie had a lot of heart. I would go see this movie again. I think it was very fun and entertaining. Not to many family movies can top this one. Definitely a movie I recommend going to see. It was entertaining and not boring at all. It might even make you cry. Go see it and have a fun time watching a girl play football.
