Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Erik Lundegaard, Seattle Times: But this is a romance movie and the main questions are: 'Did you believe in the love?' and 'Did it make you feel good?' Answers to both: Yes. Read more
Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News: Read more
Susan Stark, Detroit News: An engaging sport-romance. Read more
Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News: Has more than enough charm, skilled performances and appealing characters to score when it has to. Read more
Elvis Mitchell, New York Times: It's in the small touches that this movie comes alive, and it's rare that directors can pull off this kind of thing. Read more
Lisa Alspector, Chicago Reader: Told largely from the point of view of the woman, this career-versus-love story still develops the perspective of the man persuasively, as Sanaa Lathan and Omar Epps reveal their characters' motives with nuances of expression that transcend the dialogue. Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Offers a pleasant double whammy of roundball and romance. Read more
Louis B. Parks, Houston Chronicle: Satisfying, enjoyable and smart. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: Like a really satisfying game, the score at the end of each is no indication of who will win at the final buzzer. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: An unusual but engaging mix of the overwrought and the understated, a picture that, at two hours plus, keeps threatening to overstay its welcome and yet always pulls us back into its conversational orbit. Read more
Andrea C. Basora, Newsweek: Love and Basketball never really reconciles the two elements of its title and ultimately basketball is forced to take a backseat to love. Read more
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture: Mawkishly heartfelt, but actress Sanaa Lathan performs as if she were lit from within. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: The movie is not as taut as it could have been, but I prefer its emotional perception to the pumped-up sports cliches I was sort of expecting. Read more
Bob Graham, San Francisco Chronicle: Love and basketball -- if you like either one, here is a movie for you. Read more
Geoff Andrew, Time Out: Stylishly shot and bursting with visual and sexual energy, this is confident black women's film-making and an eloquent tribute to the girl with the permanently grazed knees -- and about time too. Read more
Emanuel Levy, Variety: The pic is so well directed and lead performance by Sanaa Lathan so charismatic that audiences will overlook the script's flaws and root for the central duo. Read more
Amy Taubin, Village Voice: The most passionate, clear-sighted movie ever made about women in sports. Read more
Desson Thomson, Washington Post: The humor is terrific, the cinematography has a burnished glow, and the score is lush. Read more
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post: This one has crossover hit written all over it. Read more
