Review of Like Mike

Like Mike (2002)
Pretty Stupid
28 June 2002
Now, movies are now run with music superstars. Britney Spears in Crossroads, Mandy Moore in A Walk to Remember, Busta Rhymes in (the awesome) Halloween: Resurrection, LL Cool J was in H20 and Deep Blue Sea, Master P was in quite a few films, Snoop Dogg in Bones, Eminem in 8 mile, etc. Now it's Bow Wow's turn to step on the court. Hereb is a direct quote from MTV's own Gideon Yago: "Lil' Bow Wow finds the shoes with the letters MJ inside and has become an all-star basketball player. Trust me, hilarity ensues."

Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! I can go on for a while but hilarity doesn't ensue. The plot is pretty stupid. Bow Wow and friends find old shoes with the faded letters MJ in them. They then go to a basketball game and, coincidentally, Bow Wow gets the chance to win some money if he goes head to head with Morris Chestnut, who plays a good basketball player. Once again, coincidentally, with his good shoes he wins. Now, what are the odds. Apparently, the letters in the shoes must mean Michael Jordan. They could've meant Michael Jackson and he could've been doing the moonwalk on the court. And then he keeps doing awesome, stupidity ensues, stupidity ensues, etc. The actors give good enough performances but the stupidity hurts it.

Overall, I'm having a good day today so I'm not going to kick it too bad and give it that bad of a rating. Not recommended. Only for family, it could be good but not for me. Rating 3 out of 10.
