Critic Reviews of "He Got Game"
VarietyMarch 25, 2008Lacking the moral indignation and militant politics of Lee's former work, this vibrantly colorful father-son melodrama is soft at the center, but it's one of the most accessible films Lee has made and Denzel Washington is terrific.
New York ObserverApril 27, 2007At the end of Mr. Lee's movie, all you feel is the distraction of Mr. Lee's stylistic exhibitionism, without which, I concede, he might not be regarded as a genius in some quarters.
SlateMarch 25, 2007[Lee] gets a charming performance from Allen, who, in his acting debut, occupies his pedestal with grace and diffidence.
Chicago ReaderMarch 25, 2007As usual, Lee tries many kinds of stylistic effects and uses wall-to-wall music (by Aaron Copland and Public Enemy); what's different this time is how personally driven the story feels.
Time OutFebruary 09, 2006Most scenes play too long, with a surplus of ideas, textures, tones and characters, and after 134 minutes it's clear Lee's problem with closure hasn't gone away.
San Francisco ChronicleJune 18, 2002Washington's Jake Shuttlesworth looks tough and hard, an odd but refreshing turn for an actor long associated with handsomely heroic roles.
Film4March 25, 2008Lee's attack on how big business is not only ruining the game he loves but also playing with people's lives is direct and brave, while his passion, insight and intelligence are evident and admirable.
TV GuideMarch 25, 2007Though too long by a good half hour, Lee's latest film packs a genuine emotional punch.
Reeling ReviewsApril 09, 2005Lee paints intimate characters who are about more than the game. Themes of integrity, honesty, loyalty and familial love are woven through the film resulting in a complex, thought-provoking human drama.
Courier-Journal (Louisville, KY)June 28, 2004Shrewdly exposes the underbelly of college recruiting and the pressures exerted on talented high school basketball stars.
rec.arts.movies.reviewsJune 07, 2004Flawed but powerful.
