TrailerQuincy McCall and Monica Wright grew up in the same neighborhood and have known each other since childhood. Their love-hate relationship lasts into high school, with Monica's edge and Quincy's top-dog attitude separating them, except when Quincy's parents argue and he climbs through Monica's window to sleep on the floor. As Quincy and Monica struggle to make their relationship work, they follow separate career paths though high school and college basketball and, they hope, into stardom in big-league professional ball.Actors: Glenndon Chatman, Jess Willard, Chris Warren, Kyla Pratt, Alfre Woodard, Naykia Harris, Harry Lennix, Debbi Morgan, Dennis Haysbert, Sanaa Lathan, Omar Epps, ...»Director: Gina Prince-BythewoodCountry: United StatesDuration: 124 minQuality: HDRelease: 2000IMDb: 7.2Rating(19) Voted0 CommentsSort By- Newest

Critic Reviews of "Love and Basketball"
Chicago ReaderMarch 26, 2007Told 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.
VarietyMarch 26, 2007The 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.
Time OutJune 24, 2006Stylishly 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.
Houston ChronicleJuly 21, 2005Satisfying, enjoyable and smart.
New York Magazine/VultureAugust 07, 2004Mawkishly heartfelt, but actress Sanaa Lathan performs as if she were lit from within.
Globe and MailDecember 23, 2002An 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.
Common Sense MediaJanuary 01, 2011Good romance, but strong sexuality for a PG-13.
Sacramento News & ReviewAugust 07, 2008This romantic drama from writer-director Gina Prince-Bythewood is well-acted.
Film4March 24, 2008The surprise element here is that the film takes Monica's career, and her love of the game, as seriously, probably more seriously, than it does Quincy's.
Reeling ReviewsApril 09, 2005Thanks to Spike Lee's production company for giving a talented newcomer a good start.
Sight and SoundDecember 03, 2002It's a fine example of a conventionally made picture which follows all the rules yet still emerges as fresh and original.
San Diego MetropolitanOctober 21, 2002Prince-Bythewood, a first-time feature filmmaker out of UCLA's film school, tells a story that is at once warm and heartfelt -- and often funny as well.
