The full length film based on the Uncle Drew character Kyrie Irving played in commercials. The story here is based on a rivalry between a couple of high school basketball kids (Dax and Mookie) that has followed them through into their adult lives. It plays out at the Rucker, the most famous street ball tournament in New York, of whom Uncle Drew is the most famous player. Our story follows Dax as he recruits a team to finally defeat Mookie at the Rucker. Uncle Drew is the cornerstone of the team and most of the film is the road trip that collects the other members (Shaq, Reggie Miller, Nate Robinson, Lisa Leslie, Chris Webber). As a basketball fan, I wanted more basketball and (I know, insert hypocrisy accusation here) less story. But other than that, I really liked this.
4 stars (out of 5)
