Jill Kelly should've received an Oscar! - 3.75 out of 5 (11/25/2002)
In what is largely a forgettable film, Jill Kelly single-handedly raised this film from one star to three stars. Her passionate and unforgettable performance makes Denzel Washington and Ray Allen look like supporting players. If you purchase or rent this movie, just fast-forward to Jill Kelly's fabulous dorm room scene, and skip the rest.

The Holy Game............ - 3.75 out of 5 (7/21/1999)

Now he's brought his unique vision to the screen in "He Got Game". It's a film that deals with the issues that I'm sure most athletes have dealt with in their life. It is also an extremely touching father and son story as well.
Jake Shuttlesworth (Denzel Washington) is currently serving time in prison for involuntary manslaught

Still, I enjoyed the rest of the film a great deal, and it was heading for greatness...until the end. Ray Allen gave a good performance, especially for an athlete with no previous acting experience. And, a nice touch comes toward the end of the movie when, out of nowhere, 2 of the biggest porns
