Much funnier than I anticipated

Based on trailer had no plans to ever see this movie. So glad a friend ordered it on pay per view. Tell you up front that the storyline is trite and cliche ridden. Also tell you up front that the movie is much funnier than I anticipated. First half of the movie has belly laugh, laugh out loud lines sprinkled liberally throughout. Second half the hand sprinkling the laughs is a bit restrained. Perhaps there should be an early disclaimer that some of the laughs require some level of basketball and cultural insider knowledge. Not sure the quick "watch your tone" would resonate unless you've also heard "you better take that base out your voice." Do not go in thinking that you are going to see ground breaking cinema. What you will see and hear in this movie is great basketball players not taking themselves seriously (imagine that), cultural references that take you back to the day, music that reminds that old school music hasn't always been about sampling, and just enough ball that you can say that this is a basketball movie.

surprisingly functional

Uncle Drew (Kyrie Irving) is a legendary basketball player from Harlem who is remembered by all the old-timers. Dax (Lil Rel Howery) loses his Rucker team and gets kicked out by his girlfriend Jess (Tiffany Haddish). He is penniless with no team. He's at a neighborhood court when he witnesses Uncle Drew take down an arrogant youngster. He convinces Uncle Drew to join his team and the two go on the road to recruit various old retired basketball players.It doesn't start promising. I'm not laughing with either Lil Rel Howery or Tiffany Haddish. Then Kyrie Irving comes into the movie. I like him playing one on one and I like his chemistry with Rel. It's nothing ground breaking but it is surprisingly functional. My expectation was low and it's able to clear it.
