One of my all-time favorites. The chemistry between Sanaa Lathan and Omar Epps was SIZZLING! Great acting. I was totally impressed when I found out how Lathan (one of my favorite actresses) trained for the part. She didn’t know how to play basketball, so she had to work really hard to be convincing. It worked! She received several awards for her efforts, along with castmates Epps and Alfrie Woodard and the director Gina Prince-Bythewood.

I enjoyed the score which brought me back to my high school and college years.
