Crossover (2006) User Reviews

You need to see this movie! Trust me.

[simonbirch · 1/10 · 30 January 2007]

Why?

Because everybody in the entire world would be able to create a better movie than this. I saw this movie because comments on this site. I didn't believe my own eyes! A drunk monkey would surely have done a better job than the writers & actors in this movie.

WATCH this movie and be AMAZED... Please do, i beg you! Actually i DARE you! Then you can say to yourself, "Hey, at least i will never watch anything this terrible again"

And people... Try to avoid hitting yourself in the head, while watching it. I had a hard time doing that.

So Bad It's Good!

[MIDDLEMYATT · 1/10 · 21 March 2007]

My kids and I enjoyed this dreadful exercise in predictability and bad acting for all the wrong reasons: We playfully wagered on what actors would say next (and I use that word "actors" very loosely). It's full of clichés of all kinds. We would rewind and laugh at the scenes containing Eva Pigford's unbelievably horrid acting (please, for God's sake, stick to simply being a model!). We'd pretend to be menaced and afraid by appearances of that definitive "hood" slick guy, aka Wayne Brady ("New Jack City's" Nino Brown has got nothing on him!!!). And we were amused at how surprisingly weak the basketball scenes were. The on-the-court scenes contained lots of edits and cut-aways that marked staged shots. And for a movie about b'ball, the court scenes were extremely minimal and unexciting. On a serious note, please observe this theory of mine if you rent this film (for God's sake don't buy it): Sometimes, being surrounded by bad actors and faced with a bad script can even make a good actor bad. Case in point, Anthony Mackie. He's clearly got skills, but he had no business being in this foul of a film! This movie surely falls under the "So bad it's good" banner. If you rent it expecting anything else, you will surely be disappointed.

Fantastic movie?!?!??!

[ZilchSr · 1/10 · 21 January 2007]

Fantastic movie? Fantastic? Are you kidding me? This "fantastic" movie has an average rating of 1.1, with 1 being the lowest rating on IMDb after over 1,200 votes. Fantastic? Fantastic trash, maybe.

The acting was bush league, and the plot was lame. All this is is just more of this same old tired and boring urban-up-and-comer-defeat-the-odds-make-a-life-from-nothing worship garbage.

I can't believe I wasted my time with this movie.

Voters rated "Gigli" higher than this, which should give you an idea of exactly how bad this movie is.

Crapover

[UrbanFilmCritic · 31 August 2006]

For all who have cried for quality urban film-making free from gangsta, thuggin, and drug related themes…keep looking.

Detroit is a city rich in culture, history, ethnicity and empowerment but in recent years has developed an unfortunate reputation that upsets many natives. Those with a voice, the politicians, the rappers, even the filmmakers try desperately to reverse that negative image much to their credit. Writer and Director Preston Whitmore II, a loyal patriot indeed, attempts an urban tale about street ball, dreams fulfilled, and dreams deferred. It seemed like every few minutes there was a needless montage of city landmarks that were not part of the storyline. A gimmick that seemed patronizing at best, insulting at worst. I too love my city and I understand patriotic sympathies. However, they simply have no place on the celluloid. If a filmmaker wants to show the good of the city make a good movie! But that was just part of my problem with Crossover. It wasn't dramatic enough to be taken seriously and not funny enough to be a comedy. The funniest thing in the movie was the main character Tech (Mackie) spending half the movie studying for his GED. The plot was mediocre and the acting simply ghastly. Wayne Brady (who said he could be a leading man?) has to prove he's black to all his critics and quite unconvincingly portrays Vaughn, part businessman, part thug who has more than a legitimate interest in street ball. The cookie monster is a scarier underworld figure. Wesley Jonathan who was absolutely priceless in Rollbounce was less than thrilling-- almost boring. And Eva Pigford's play acting of the femme fatal just ruined a character that might have been interesting.

Crossover (or Crapover as I was calling it by the end) was a film that probably looked good on paper but lost its focus somewhere between the pitch and the production. I often advise urban screenwriters to beware of this potential peril. It's a death sentence to the film, but more importantly it is another unwanted blemish on the genre of film that is blemished enough.

Crapola (his is a spoiler people)

[RachelSmith45 · 1/10 · 9 September 2006]

This movie was the worst movie I have ever seen. First off every single character is the most shallow, worst drawn out character I have ever seen. I've seen better acting in porno's!! The movie is BARELY about basketball. Instead there are 3 times in the movie where you actually see a freaking basketball! The rest of the movie is set at the mall. The two guys, Tech and Cruise are so stereotypical it was hard to believe that was actually written and partially directed by a black man. The story line is so bad it hurts. Cruise (who you never see in school or even reading) got some scholarship to "Cal U" and its dangerous for him to play street ball (Ooooo lets all get scared). What the hell.

The worst part are the women. They have the worst one liners. "Is that true" "Its so big" "are you kidding" "is that for real . Yeah if you're going to put hood rats in your movie please don't let they say anything. The 'love story'is so unbelievable. Cruise and the better looking hood rat magically fall in love after he revels he wants to go to California and become a doctor. Less than 3 minutes later in the movie. (I think 3 days went by on screen) She's pregnant with his baby. He wants to marry her. HAHAHAHAHA. People in the movie started throwing things! (Come on now mister producer I did the math. It takes 2 weeks after sex for a women to have a baby. They were together around 3 days.)As for The ugly hood rat, she and Tech they get into an argument after tech realizes that he is a body double in a commercial and not the main man. (oh and his rival is the main man) Whatever. Then we find out that mister Dummy Tech that was the one that wanted to go to college. (WTF this dude couldn't add 125 plus 35 they're round numbers!) The plot thickens, Mister "thug" tech took a felony for Cruise, and that's the reason why Tech is so stupid and had to get his GED. (yeah so now apparently you get felony's for hitting white people and when you skip your senior year you can't add either).

Eva reveals that she is a gold digger to Cruise and only wanted him because he was going to California. (who didn't see this coming) Cruise falls off his bike (the stunt work was horrible) and punctures a lung. (he didn't even hit the ground that hard) What the hell why does that even matter. NONE OF THIS CRAP DOES. Play some basketball why don't you and don't montage it.

So in the end. Everyone breaks up. Eva (the pretty hood rat) is a ho who had a baby by the whole freaking block. And the two guys to to community college. WOW. Crapola.

The acting is bad, the script is bad, there isn't much basketball, the film is low budget. Don't see it or if you want to see some crap at least sneak into the theater through the back door.

Ouch!

[ShenStyle178 · 1/10 · 8 September 2006]

This movie was a Crossover that is for sure. I broke my ankle on purpose just to try and get through the painful story line and horrible streetball action. If you want to see streetball just rent the And1 Mix Tape tours, even though they are a jumble of random moves, they are still better action then Crossover. This acting was not good either. The character development and personalities are cliché. And why now is Wayne Brady trying to get this tough guy persona. Ever since the Chappelle show appearance he is now all of a sudden more sinister. All in all this was not a good movie, I guess you can tell from my vote 1 out of ten, and that is 1 is just because there is nothing lower.

Crazy

[Firefighter_1025 · 1/10 · 16 January 2007]

You know what's funny? I'll tell you...this movie. Once again drum roll please....Or, should I say DRUMLINE please. Drumline type movie that bombed like all of the rest. Nothing was good about this movie except the end credits where some persons name was my name and it made me as giddy as a school girl. I thought I was renting a movie about a poltergeist, but that didn't happen. But I was wishing that I was in the grave at the end of it. It's kind of strange that director's would take on something of this crappy caliber and try to make something of themselves. Writing was dumb, actors were...you know, and the scenes just made me want to take a bath and scrub myself from all of the bull that I've encountered.

Crossover is Crossover

[mickeyshamrock · 2/10 · 3 September 2006]

Do you like crossovers? Then do I have the movie for you! It is called Crossover. When I heard they were going to make a movie called Crossover I started practicing my crossover like everyday. When the movie came out I brought my rock to the theater and crossed-over all these dudes in line, it was hilarious. Then I crossed-over the popcorn dude. I got the Producer's Pick, you know, a hot dog and a large soda, then I crossed-over that too. Then in the theater this guy started talking on his cell phone, you know what I did… Yup! Crossover!!! Shut him up real good. EDITOR'S NOTE: The basketball scenes in Teen Wolf are better than the basketball scenes in Crossover. Crossover.

Another of the Bottom 100 that seems to be their unfairly.

[planktonrules · 5/10 · 11 February 2010]

As of this point, I have done more reviews on IMDb than anyone. And, in recent months I've taken my love for foreign, classic and independent films and set it aside for a strange little obsession--bad films. I have made it a point to try to see as many of IMDb's Bottom 100 films as I can. There is no way I can see them all--a few are not available and some are simply not available in the US. During my little experiment, I have so far seen about 50 of the films and have noticed a trend. Many of these Bottom 100 are Black-American films and some are actually pretty good--such as "I Can Do Bad All By Myself", "Phat Girlz", "Feel the Noise" and this film. This leads me to wonder two things--either I like them because they appeal mostly to 45 year-old men like me or there are a lot of people out there that seem to have it in for films with Black casts--especially urban films. I can't say what is going on, but even if these are bad films (which they aren't in my opinion), there is no way they should be ranked lower than all the films of Ed Wood, Al Adamson or William Grefe. The difference between these Black-themed films and the ultra-low budget schlock films is enormous!

The film is about two young men, Tech and Cruise. Tech is a bit of a loser. Not a horrible person, but someone whose life seems to be going nowhere. Cruise, on the other hand, has a chance to play basketball for UCLA while he works on a Pre-Med degree. Two friends whose lives are going in opposite directions. However, just because things appear this way doesn't mean there won't be a lot of surprises on the way to the end of the film.

The film featured a lot of street-style basketball. And I have to be honest, basketball is among my least favorites sports to watch--right up there with golf and lacrosse! Yet despite this, the action was exciting and there was enough to the plot to keep me interested--especially in the lives of these men. The writing, while not great (there are a few clichés here and there--especially the one girlfriend and the need to tack on an epilogue during the credits), it is very good and kept me guessing. Also, there have been a few knocks about the acting--and I can't see why. Some jumped on Wayne Brady--who was not bad at all here. In fact, I just don't get all the hostility towards the movie. What's to hate about it?

Cross Over should be CROSSED OUT

[mstalltammi · 1/10 · 24 February 2007]

OK.. first of all Wayne Brady should be shot for doing so terrible! Johnathan Wesley should have had enough experience to do better than he did! I mean after all he did play "Sweetness" in Roll Bounce which was only a tad bit better! Eva The Winner from America's Next Top Model should definitely stick to modeling! Her acting was so bad, that it seems like she was joking! I guess winning an award for acting is out of the question! At least it is, based on this movie! LOL. The rest of the cast, I had never seen and hopefully I won't ever see again! This movies was awful! THe plot was weak!They all need to take more acting classes IMMEDIATELY! I barely made it through the movie! This movie should have been called CrossOUT!!!!

"Why this film is one of the worst movies ever?"

[QStrum · 1/10 · 15 June 2008]

someone asked? Hmm... Where should I start? Well, let's start with the blueprint: screenplay.

The dialogue was on-the-nose, predictable babbling about nothing. The jokes were even worse. The characters were less than one dimensional while accomplishing all sorts of inconsistencies, which attributed to outrageous behavior. I mean, at one point, the main character was just having a nervous breakdown for absolutely nothing, for the sake of drama. The plot was as believable as Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer. And even with the absurd plot, the writing failed to be original at all levels. I mean, we saw the same subplots done before in way more superior films like "White Men Can't Jump".

The directing was Amateur night at the Apollo. He did nothing with the camera or the blocking of the actors to make me believe he has an ounce of talent in his body. And the shots were so flat and uninteresting. I hope they shot the movie on HD. I'd hate to think one can make film stock look so bad.

The acting was the worst. Inappropriate and unjustified outbursts of anger, straight line readings off the page and so much wooden actions/reactions that it started to look like a smörgåsbord for termites.

And the basketball playing was terrible, even from the actors who are known for basketball, like Hot Sauce. They made a big mistake trying to pass off Anthony Mackie as some ballplayer. He looked uncomfortable with the basketball every time he touched it. I had a hard time watching him.

Uneventful montages. Glossy cinematography looking like someone's home VHS camera. Lame jokes. Inept editing.

You know when you have watched a bad film? When you're a passionate cinephile and after watching the film, it was so bad, you're left with a temporary bad taste in your mouth for movie making since the beginning of time. This film is that bad.

Great movie

[danceability-1 · 10/10 · 6 February 2011]

Great movie!,

This was a great movie! It tells the truth of how a basketball player can go pro and have a hard time fitting in with all the pressure out there. Very good movie! I love the edge to this movie. It's not over the top. Just enough to keep it interesting, but still be PG. Surprisingly good acting skills demonstrated by Wayne Brady. Crossover is a story of friendship and getting crossed.

Actors: Anthony Mackie, Wesley Jonathan, Wayne Brady, Eva Pigford, Little JJ, Alecia Jai Fears.

Far from the worst movie ever - FAR

[BroadswordCallinDannyBoy · 6/10 · 12 June 2007]

Noah is a student trying to get into medical school on a basketball scholarship. However, neighborhood rivalry makes things more difficult than he originally thought and a somewhat shady sports agent taunts him with dreams of big money.

For the record, I watched this movie because it is number 1 on the IMDb Bottom 100 list. This film seems to take more flak than anything Uwe Boll has done - his movies, also bashed, are higher rated but still in the Bottom 100 on IMDb. However, I tried to watch as if I had no knowledge of what others thought it just to form my own opinion free from intervention.

The conclusion of my little experiment is the film is really not that bad. Is it stellar? No. But worst movie ever. No. Obviously Preston A. Whitmore II isn't Spike Lee or Scorsese and the film seems over edited, especially in the beginning with constant whooshes and sped up pans. Yes the script isn't a drama masterwork - it includes a pointless 'where are they now' narration/titles at the end, but that is probably more indicative of the film's budget rather than creative choice. Then the actors aren't world class, but who really cares? The story is consistent, remarkably free of profanity or other exploitation and stereotypical portrayal of inner-city life. It has, as another user wrote, "a positive overtone" while staying well clear of being preachy.

As far as being worse than Uwe Boll is another thing. Boll makes mediocre made movies with no plot. This film is better than mediocre and has a decent well-intentioned plot to it, which essentially should lift it above anything like 'House of the Dead' or 'Alone in the Dark.' But maybe people are so hungry for sensation these days that they like awful sensation over decent, if not stellar, drama. If that sounds like a drug addiction to you, well you're right, because it is. --- 6/10

Rated PG-13: minimal profanity and some sexual content

You Deserve A Refund If You Paid To See This Movie

[lmc3 · 1/10 · 26 December 2007]

It is obvious that this movie was made in someone's basement with light off. It is a terrible attempt at making a movie, and the writers next project should be in a college course on screen writing, better yet Acting 099. Please do not waste your time, because I did. Time is something that you can not get back. The acting was terrible and the plot was even worse. There were many mistakes for example during the last scene the numbers on one of the characters uniform were backwards as if you were looking into a mirror. The lines from the characters sounded rehearsed as if they were being read directly from a script. I really believe that ANYONE with a good idea for making a movie has better potential at being successful than this movie. I am a movie buff and I promise you this movie is AWFUL.

Way worse that all of these movies listed, by Miles

Was This Meant To Be A Joke??

[chargersforsuperbowl · 1/10 · 28 July 2008]

So my friend leaves me with his little brother while he goes to pick up his girlfriend from work. His 9 year old brother decides he wants to play me his favorite movie in the whole wide world. Crossover. I get through the first 20 minutes predicting everything that is about to happen. Everything seems so cliché. I almost thought they were going off all improv but than I quickly realized that it was in fact just a horrible script.

So I make it all the way up till the first encounter with Jewelz who is played by Hot Sauce from the And 1 tapes. I then make up an excuse to go outside so I can smoke some weed hoping that the movie would get better if I was stoned.

I WAS WRONG. All the weed did was make me thirsty and laugh hysterically at the horrible acting. I feel sorry for Wayne Brady because this is a career ending movie.

Cross (Thank God it's finally) Over

[PlutoNashFan · 1/10 · 19 March 2007]

*Groans*... where should we start? It feels like someone took a dump on my brain after watching this. Nick Cannon and some other guy from B2K star in absymal movie that is so bad You Got Served look like Blood Diamond. Absolutely nothing happens the whole movie yet every scene is pumping with music and slow-mo shots that speed up and slow back down again. Whether Nick Cannon is hanging out with his grandma or riding the bus or working at the shoe store, the fake urban appeal is more obvious than the war in Iraq being about oil.

The two main characters lose a basketball game in the beginning, meet some girlfriends, get in a fight and the one punches a fat white dude in the face. Money appears out of nowhere and you're wondering how they can afford these crazy things, apparently they are part of some underground basketball association but only play 2 games the entire movie (which takes place in about 2-3 weeks). By the way, the b-ball games consist of nothing but slam dunks - all of which are shown in angles that make the rim look like it was lowered to 5 or 6 feet. I'd rather watch clips from the video game NBA Jam.... boom shaka laka. Add in some baby mama drama, a pointless trip to LA, and some more under-developed characters and the film is pretty much summed up.

Oh yeah, Wayne Brady is in the movie, and apparently he thinks that playing rap music in his car makes him *not* look like a white black guy that appeals to women in their 40's. Yeah, keep it real man... anyway, the villain of the movie is not scene on camera, however Preston A. Whitmore manages to make your brain feel like one of those scrambled eggs from the "this is your brain on drugs" commercials from back in the day.

Buy or rent? Instead, give you neighbor's dog some laxitives and look out at your porch in about an hour.

Summary: nothing relevant happens the entire movie and you feel no emotion whatsoever for the characters. You could make a movie about this review I wrote and it would be better than CrossOver.

Certified air ball

[Newsense · 1/10 · 7 January 2009]

Yeah this movie made the IMDb bottom list for a good reason. Its stinks. We've seen this type of movie before with Above The Rim and Sunset Park but at least those movies were appealing. This movie is pretty much a brick.

Premise: Cruise(Wesley Johnathan) and Tech(Anthony Mackie) are friends who have aspirations besides playing street ball. Cruise wants to go to college and Tech wants to pass his GED and go to college as well. Along the way of hustling people in street ball, they meet up with two women(played by Alicia Fears and Eva Pigford) as well as an unscrupulous promoter/agent Vaughn(played by Wayne Brady) who does anything in his power to sign Cruise and Tech.

Opinion: The storyline is predictable and the acting is sub par. Its not like Wesley Johnathan and Anthony Mackie cant act. On the contrary they have potential but the juvenile script kills them. Cruise is a goof ball and Tech is childish and annoying. Eva Pigford is terrible but Alicia Fears shows some promise. Wayne Brady is funnier trying to be serious in this movie than his corny stand-up routines. Plus what would movies like this be without clichés and stereotypes. Tech is a reprehensible punk black man who not only puts his hands on the girl who genuinely likes him but he even comes close to punching her and Eva Pigford's character after he finds out that she sold Cruise out to a magazine. What black movie is complete without a black man who misdirects his anger beats up on women and drinks his pain away instead of taking his anger out on the people who caused his grief? Eva Pigford's character is a typical hood harlot who uses Cruise with the pregnant routine and dumps him when she realizes that he is not going to California and he is not going to play pro basketball. Gotta love the sickening portrayal of black women as gold diggers in these films by Follywood. And the scene where the hood rat was mouthing off about her no good boyfriend was to die for. You get the drift. This movie plays like a poorly written soap opera with stereotypes and clichés thrown into the mix. Then it tries to tug at your heartstrings with Cruise ending up in the hospital after an accident and tries to justify Tech coming within a hairsbreadth of punching out Eva Pigford's character after that she might have leaked the news of Cruise playing a street B-ball game with a rival basketball crew called "Platinum" for money. This film wallows in its predictability, stereotypes and clichés like a pig does mud. Yeah the edited basketball scenes are nice to look at but when that is all a movie has going for it than its a waste of precious time. Plus any movie that has Wayne Brady playing the villain is not steeped in reality. This movie is a certified brick. He aims. he shoots, air ball!

Good Clean Movie

[ichocolat · 1 August 2007]

First of all, if the reason you are watching this movie is to be thrilled by gunshots, fast cars sweeping by, a masked man parachuting down leaving behind a dust of smoke after a bomb explodes .. Then this is not your cuppa tea .

This is a good, clean movie, with moral lessons that is being told with subtlety, which is good to anyone watching this movie. Lessons on friendship, the priorities in lives, knowing that there will always be people that will treat you right & those that only used you for their own benefit.

The movie is indeed predictable, but only on the fact that the kids will excel in their live. Other than that, the storyline is interesting, with twists & unexpected turns of event . Who'd know that Cruise wasn't that bad after all, & that Nicole isn't what she seems to be .

Yeah, there are things that could be better, i.e Wayne Brady would have to act with more class to be a bookie instead of looking like a blur guy driving around to get the betting money. But it is quite an act, considering the fact that he's always been linked to that comedy show (Wayne Brady show) that it'll be hard to try a different genre of acting. Nice try, however.

I like the music, the slow mo shots when trying to dunk the ball, the smooth ways of faking the moves, wanting to do trick the opponents. It's cool ! With that being said, I recommend this movie to be watched. It is good clean movie, with a subtle way to send the moral message to the audience.

is this a movie?

[fthat69 · 1/10 · 13 February 2008]

I don't know. I would not qualify it as one. Honestly, I am embarrassed to have seen this movie. It was not my choice, There was no legitimate plot line throughout the movie, except for the fact that there was some "underground" basketball league or something.

Wayne Brady is way better than this, and the fact that he was in it was probably the only reason to not leave within the first 5 minutes.

I think a better description of this would be garbage on film and not a movie. If you by some reason in hell had to see this movie, I suggest getting drunk or high, thats the only way you will make it through this crap.

Awesomely laugh-at bad

[Phanofmuzik-2 · 1/10 · 10 April 2009]

I watched this movie one boring night with a bunch of friends who swore to god it was the worst movie ever made, so of course we have to watch it.

Honestly, they were absolutely right. It was one of the more fun nights of my life too. Couldn't stop A: laughing at how bad it was, and B: staring in disbelief something this bad could be made.

There was really no comprehensible plot, no characters to like, no character development, nobody in the movie talks without the camera being pointed at them (conversations are quite funny because it just flips between each person over and over), no comedy, not really any redeeming factor outside of doing everything so poorly its enjoyable. Wayne Brady being in it is just icing on the cake, especially after the famous Chappelle skit. Pretty much the perfectly bad movie.

I highly recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys hilariously bad movies and cant wait to watch it again with another group of friends on another boring night.

I wish it would be so bad it's almost good

[sgtGiggsy · 2/10 · 25 February 2013]

Crossover maybe the worst basketball movie ever. It's really hard to understand how was it possible to write a script this bad. And how did they convince Anthony Mackie, Wayne Brady, Hot Sauce, and Kristen Wilson to play in it? The story tries to be some mix of 'He Got Game' and 'White Man Can't Jump' but its quality is far-far away from both films. The characters are shallow, and the drama is... let's say it's fine, but really badly presented. The worst thing is (and remember it's a BASKETBALL MOVIE) the basketball part of the film. The whole thing is absolutely unrealistic, full of cut-scenes, and almost absolutely lacks the trash talk which would be an important part of a streetball themed movie. I can't really decide what was the intention of making this film. For a regular drama, it's weak. For a sport movie, the sport part badly presented. The only enjoyable part of it, when we see Hot Sauce's moves in slow motion.

Save your time, and don't watch this movie. It really doesn't worth it.

Don't Expect Gold From Glitter

[serinaholguin · 9/10 · 6 May 2016]

Yeah okay basically, you re all haters. I love this movie more than I love most movies. It makes me laugh, makes cry, makes me think. I love to shoot hoops and I love to watch people shoot hoops. I don't really know where I'm going with this, and I don't really know why I can't seem to type anything intelligible, (surely it is because I like this movie hah hah hah no no) but the point of the matter is, this is a good movie. I'm not saying it should win an Oscar, or deserves any acclamation, but it is a good movie in the way that Stomp the Yard or You Got Served are good movies. They're not meant to be masterpieces, but that doesn't mean they're terrible.

Lol at people...

[bjoernar_skaare · 7/10 · 8 July 2007]

I had great expectations when I was going to watch this movie... Rated 2nd worst of all movies, had given me a hope to enjoy bad acting, director, music, etc...

Already in the first scene I noticed the good music(not especially "good", but proper and suitable). The acting wasn't bad at all, and the movie switched nicely between the basket playing and the street life... If it wasn't for a thin story I'd perhaps given it 8/10 or 9/10, but 7/10 will do...

I generally don't like, sorry for the expression, movies with "nigga"-talk and gangs, but this one had a meaning, and the end of the movie was brilliant... You could see how he'd learned throughout the movie, and was a dynamic person(and all you idiots who voted 1/10 or 2/10 probably doesn't know what that means...) Finally, I'd like to say that I've seen hundreds, and yes, I literally mean HUNDREDS, of movies worse than this, and only a few better... GO OUT AND WATCH THIS MOVIE, DON'T BE AFRAID OF ALL THE BAD COMMENTS MADE...

Crossover was like if "You Got Served" was about Basketball instead of Dancing

[momjessicaandjordan · 3/10 · 8 July 2021]

Crossover is one of those it's so bad it's good movies. Although I love basketball and it's my favorite sport to watch and play, you can tell in this movie that the basketball scenes weren't real and they weren't doing those moves they were doing maybe besides HotSauce but they probably just threw some editing to make it seem like they did what they did. The more you watch this movie, the more you see what was wrong in this movie. It had potential though and I loved the idea the movie has a basketball league in the hood but this movie was just bad execution on so many levels. I would recommend this movie for a good laugh, but I would never in my life say that Crossover was a good movie or even close to an average movie.
