Adam Sandler is better at serious acting in dramas then he is at comedies and this movie proves that yet again.
Any bad?
Even if you arent into basketball (or sports) whatsovever, this movie could still win you over, because this story has got so much HEART and SOUL.
The good:
Great acting performances, touching direction, uplifting and real and intimate story about how (NOT) dealing with your own hurt, can make or break your dreams.
The story: Adam Sandler plays a basketball scout, who ruined his own basketball player career because of only 1 mistake in his personal life. Now Adam Sandler has found an unknown basketball player, who carries a criminal past with him, that prevents him from becoming succesfull as well. Will Adam Sandler succeed in giving this kid a chance at success, which he himself never achieved?
Plot summary
After being fired, pro basketball scout, Stanley Sugerman, is excited, for the first time in a very long while, when he serendipitously discovers Spanish amateur baller, Bo Cruz, playing in a park outside Madrid. Fueled with new-found purpose, Stanley makes it his mission to groom Bo for the NBA as he believes they both can make it.

I am not a basketball sportsfan, but I got goosebumps throughout this story. Uplifting, touching, real.
Has Sandler found a new zone in his career?
I like where Sandler's movie career is heading again....finally.
"Hustle" and "Uncut Gems* portrait Sandler as a real dude with depth, humility and vulnerability with a funny side. Not Billy Madison crazy goofy but good chum amusing.
Sandler plays a scout for the 76ers who just got promoted to assistant coach. He has a long relationship with the owner who passes away and the new owner (the son) bumps him back to scout. Wandering the streets of Spain, he comes across a heated pick-up game and a tall chap dominating. He stalks him down, presents some informal credentials and persuades him to come to the US. Now the challenge is will Sandler be able to peak the interest of any NBA team to find him a spot on their roster. And will the dude be mentally and physically tough enough to prove his worth?
This was highly enjoyable and engaging and while the outcome can be guessed, many doubts were planted along the way. Happy to see Sandler move past that crap middle phase of his career into a new realm that suits him well. The beard helps too.
If you're not a fan of basketball, you'll still enjoy this well put-together film.
But if you are, then you'll love this Adam Sandler and LeBron James production. It's a great and touching story, told perfectly, with outstanding performances by Sandler and actual NBA star Juancho Hernangomez. You'll also see a bunch of other NBA players and celebrities. The directing is excellent, as is the cinematography. The almost 2 hour runtime flew by with the great pacing. This film is certainly one of the better sport-dramas I've seen. A well deserved 9/10 from me.

What a great movie!
Why there's no original torrents links of yts tv show i dont talk about eztv please yts add series
Odlican!!!
@simpledodo: Real yify was taken down in 2015 by the MPAA. Every version of yify or yts out there right now are unofficial clones. I won't call this a rip off, since the uploads are good. But that doesn't change the fact that this isn't the OG yify. Also, I got in contact with the customer support, and they explain to me that you can turn off pop up ads in the settings. Just in case anyone here don't know that.
I see Adam Sandler and Ben Foster I DL.. lol
"Stanley makes it his mission to groom Bo" ... xD
great movie
Been a while since Adam Sandler made a good movie. Really enjoyed this one. 7-10 rating is deserved.
This and King Richard (2021) were some of the best movies I've seen recently. Not because I am a sports fan per se, but rather because of the overall presentation and story-telling.
I see a lot of folk on this site keep asking when YTS will have a series torrent download site. Just look right down at the bottom of the YTS homepage where you will see EZTV. Click on the link. Its got a whole lot of series torrent links.
9 / 10
Then which one is the real Yify? @razzlesama
Also guys did you know that this is NOT the actual yify?
I'm having JS turned off for your site to get rid of this ridiculous redirects and hyperlinking that even adblockers can't get rid of. Having some advertisements here and there is fine. I mean this is not a non profit. But your redirects are almost always scams. Yts is becoming pretty much unusable tr**h
