I know, I know… another Adam Sandler Netflix movie, but this one actually has some decent chops and emerges as one of his better movies to date. Playing a burned-out hoops scout, Sandler (who co-produced, alongside LeBron James) stars alongside a bevy of real-life NBA faces in the ‘Rocky’-style story of a Spanish baller brought to Philly to make it in the league. Good drama, solid performances (particularly from Sandler), and a decent sprinkling of humor make this a surprising, feel-good winner.
4/5 stars
