VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - A man dies of a heart attack while holding onto a basketball hoop, falls onto the court and hits his head hard. A fistfight, a fight amongst team members on the court with hitting and slapping. A man is thrown against a backboard and hits his neck and shoulder and thereby breaks his collarbone. A mascot is hit in the crotch by a teeter-totter. Pratfalls, scuffles. When the ghost appears we hear eerie voices, and lights flicker on and off.
LANGUAGE 5 - One F-word, many mild obscenities, some anatomical references, a few scatological references.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Basketball, death, siblings, winning and competition.
MESSAGE - It's better to win by not cheating. Death must be accepted.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
Mufasa: The Lion King - 1.4.2
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - 1.3.3
The Piano Lesson - 3.5.4
Homestead - 1.5.4
