Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

danpatchk Don Cheadle is amazing in this movie. His reaction to his friend's overdose is a truly astonishing piece of acting. I don't know if he won any awards for this role, but he should have. If you have not seen this flick, you must.

obliv i was familiar w/the goat from my early basketball days, mostly from his write up in the "in your face basketball book". i was interested in the story, and it was a good yarn. the only qualms i have were some parts of the hoop scenes. in the midst of real nba ballers, we se eriq la salle, as allegedly, the best player on the court, unable to dribble without looking at the ball or use his left hand...his under the legs to a treaking player for a dunk was so laughable i almost stopped watching...still, la salle is a fine actor, and he makes up for his weak balling w/a solid performance and workmanlike direction.recommended for its unique tale of a lost legend, and some unintentionally humoroud basketball...

bob the moo Not really a basketball film - most of the action is pretty poor, but the film is a message of being disiplined and not succumbing to the things that can cause you top loose your dreams. Specifically abound the NBA but it does apply generally. It is inspiring to see "the goat" as a junkie and a failure but to rise up again as far as he could. Don Cheadle is excellent as ever - in fact most of the cast is. But please! Eric la Salle is truely awful, haming up his character, including sub-plots that means his character looses his hands, plays ball and visibly suffers the effects of drugs - all of which he does badly and it's almost like he set it up for him to "show-piece" his hammy acting. Apart from him it's a good TV movie and the story makes up for the lower production values.

Alive-3 Have you ever done a slam-dunk? Did you feel this triumph over the gravitation, height and fear? There are or there were persons who do or did it better. People will always players like Michael Jordan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Julius Irving, Magic Johnson. Will they the most celebrated streetball player Earl 'Goat' Manigault who has never played in NBA? This movie shows Earl Manigault not just as an idolized legend, but a person with his weakness, fear and shame. Jumping up and falling down are the opposite sides of the story about complicated Earl's life. This is at least fair that 'Rebound' has been developed when Earl 'Goat' Manigault was alive. Everybody has his bottom line, but there are few persons who can get through it and find the way out. And Earl was the one of them. Perfect movie for those who like basketball and not just it... Rating: 10 of 10.
