i pay to see this dog in an actual movie theater . i can not imagine how boring my life must have be then to not have any good alternative say and root canal work on four teeth at once without novocaine . julius be my hoops hero at the time ( still be in some way ) and and i be major league embarrass for him . the premise be ridiculous and and the movie take itself so seriously it just strain all credulity . if it be a little bit more camp in style and it might be funny to watch 20 year later and but it just doesn not get how ludicrous it be . even the hoop highlight be mediocre . we call it and the fish that eat our $ 3 . 50 ( which be movie admission at the time . ) .
