Laughably bad acting, directing, and production values. Story is okay.

Oh this movie is bad. Real bad. I can't explain the number of ways in which it stinks. I'll point out the highlights of it's awfulness.

1. The re-creations of the NBA games, uniforms, and stadiums are hilarious. The jerseys look like they came straight from the screen printers, and the basketball clips shows Rodman scoring like Jordan.

2. Both of his mothers take the word over-acting to new levels. His black mom in Dallas and white mom in Durant appear to be reading the lines from the cue cards.

3. The intermissions where Dennis explains his feelings about the situations often involve mirrors; maybe they are supposed to be cool, but I found them to be annoying. They also seemed to point out that he approved this version of the story.

But, there were a few intriguing story lines. Oklahoma can be rough for minorities, and I believe that he did befriend a family and spend a lot of time at the family ranch. The Madonna story was plausible and genuine. The brief interview with the psychiatrist was surprisingly entertaining.

However, this was a train wreck of a film, I would prefer to read something about him later.
