this be a popular movie probably because of the humor in it and the fast move story and an underdog character who shut up all the loudmouth and etc . funny thing be and you probably couldn not make a movie with this title if you substitute anybody but white a anything else would be deem racist by the pc police . nonetheless and woody harrleson a the white guy who turn out to be as good if not well than any of the black basketball player and be interesting a be his main counterpart wesley snipe . snipe have a lot of funny put down line and provide much of the humor . the bad part of the film which doesn not bother a lot of people be the extreme profanity in here and the sleaziness of all the character . that include woody girlfriend and play by rosie perez . there be no really clean and nice people in this movie . for that reason and i can not honestly recommend the film and at least not to friend or those who be offend by a lotof profanity .
