Preview: Streetballers (2009)

Synopsis:

Two young basketball players must overcome their differences to succeed at a street basketballcompetition.

• Poster: C

Review:

The poster is rather ordinary, showing the characters and images of the film. It's like you're seeing every other movie poster that's ever been made, which is not exciting.

• Trailer: C+

Review:

The sound quality and camera work on this film are amateurish. That they went so far as to say it scored higher than either Juno or Slumdog Millionaire at the St. Louis International Film Festival is hardly a claim to fame and makes me wonder, with the quality on display in the trailer, if there was some form of nepotism or favoritism being displayed by the festival runners.

Oscar Prospects:

Now, if critics declare this to be the second coming, it might be a contender, but from the looks of the trailer, I highly doubt that will occur.

Release Date:
