Ben Affleck has again proven himself a wonderful director.
What could have been a big yawn is a funny, absorbing, and well-paced film. It's the story of a loser basketball show manufacturer, Nike, and one man's determination to land Michael Jordan as a product endorser.
We know Jordan signed and came up with the Air Jordan shoe. What I liked about this film was that knowing what was going to happen did not make it less suspenseful - we see what Sonny Vacarro (Matt Damon) went through was impressive, not only at the company but with the Jordan family.
I loved the humor - I will watch Jason Bateman in anything. He's great here, as are Chris Tucker, Ben Affleck, and Dave Messina.
Highly recommended for the story and the performances.
