Removed as a coach from national basketball, Martin Lawrence returns to his middle school to teach a bunch of social misfits. Along the way he finds love and understanding of the kids. By the end, he gives up an opportunity to return to the big leagues to work with these kids instead. Naturally, they win a championship.
Sounds familiar? Even the gags here are familiar.
Lawrence attempts to be funny but the material he is given is difficult to work with.
More use should have been made with the kids. O yes, his love interest is a teacher in the school whose son is on the team.
Lawrence is made to be like Anne Bancroft performing miracles along the way. I will admit that it's always good to build a child's self-esteem. Any new ways to do this? Highly predictable film with clichés abounding.
