Movie Reviews of Like Mike
Movie Review: This is one great movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie stars Lil' Bow Wow and Jonthan Lipnicki as a pair of ophans that wish for a home, or at least that what Lil' Bow Wow does. When you got actors like Lil' Bow Wow, Jonthan Lipnicki and Morris Chestnut and the game of Basketball, how can you even ask for more. Well, maybe the movie doesn't have Michael Jordan, but you have a lot of famous people who make camos in this movie. Here is what Like Mike is about. Calvin Cambridge (Lil' Bow Wow) is a big basketball fan that can't play the sport very good. He is an orphan, and one night during a game, Calvin, his best freind Murph (Jonthan Lipnicki) has to be on the street outside Staples Center salling candy. He meets the coach of the L.A. Knights, and he tells Calvin that he will have some tickets waiting for him on a Sunday night game. Calvin takes Murph and some orphans to the game, where during half time, a lucky person gets to play 1 on 1 with Tracey Reyolds (Morris Chestnut) and a ticket is drawn, and Calvin has the winning ticket, and he uses sneakers that he found that has gotten struck by lighting and turns him into a basketball super star an before he knows it, an exetive from the L.A. Nights named Frank Bertand (Eugene Lavy) signs him to a contract. At first the team gaves him sneakers to wear, but he fakes a bathroom break and puts on and ties up his sneakers.And now for the best part on my review of Like Mike, my comments. First this movie reminded me of Eddie, Rookie of the Year and Angles in the Outfield (1994). And you have an actor named Jessie Plemons who plays Calvin's rival Ox. Why does Hollywood like to make a lot of fantasy movies? I mean, if you were on druing a strom wouldn't you in real life be struck by lighting? Or die from touching powerlines, whether you touch them or they touch you? Next thing, would a real team pull a person (or people) out of the stands to be either honory coach or play one on one with a basketball player? This was the first time in young Jonthan Lipnicki's career as an actor that he has had to movies out at the same time. The other is Stuart Little 2. I reccomend this movie to people who love sports or basketball movies. In fact, I would rather watch this movie, then see my local NBA (Chicago Bulls). And have to be happy that none of the current Chicago Bulls that are in this movie. I also reccomend this movie if you love to watch movies on dvd that has deleted scenes. In fact in the end credits, there are outtakes.
If you love live actions movie that are fantasy, I would reccomend this movie to you, or if you love basketball I would reccomend this you also.
Summary of Like Mike
Teenage rap sensation Lil Bow Wow makes his feature film debut in this "surefire heart-warmer" (Los Angeles Times) about an orphan boy named Calvin who lives out his dream of playing in the NBA?with a little help from a magical pair of sneakers! Soon after he laces up the mysterious high-tops, Calvin's amazing basketball skills land him a spot on the Los Angeles Knights team. In addition to hitting 25-foot jumpers and throwing down rim-rattling slam dunks, the small superstar sets his sights on another dream...having a family. But first he and his pals must defeat Bittleman, the orphanage headmaster trying to sabotage Calvin's career and dash his hopes of ever being adopted. Filled with high-flying fun and hilarious hijinks, Like Mike will have your whole family cheering into overtime!
