whoa you really think so? I wasn't really that impressed
Good movie...the stakes did not seem as high as they could be...it felt more like DRAFT DAY than MONEY BALL. I give it a B-
You might be right. Im a prisoner of the moment.

This was a solid feel good flick with superb casting and an 80's feel. 10/10. I can definitely watch this multiple times without fatigue. I love the little dialogue sequences that Affleck incorporates in his films.
Movie was really good. They did a great job making us feel like we were in 84
Turns out that Viola wrote the "A shoe is just a shoe until my son steps into it" line herself 
The true uncensored story of Michael Jordan’s Air Jordans starring…….a whole bunch of crackers!

Draft day better with more manufacted drama. Kevin Costner and Jennifer Gardner milked the sheit out of it.
Wasn't a whole lot of drama per se, other than Phil knight being cheap and the Jordan family making moves, it's a cute matinee. I'd give it 4/5 for not wasting my time and rewatchability but it's not a candidate for movie of the year. @Mr Hate Coffee

Was there scenes on the cutting room floor. This nicca flew to California and north Carolina (and rented a car with a phone in it in the 80s) like it was nothing. This trip to Discover mills I was forced to take gonna hurt me. Chick at the food court looking like a lead in a tyler Perry production trying to seduce me. I can't afford this quesidilla, damn sure as hell can't afford youYo I forgot Marlon was even in this.He had like one scene
Oh, to be born white...
breh draft day was fukkin ridiculous

The movie definitely gave me a touch of nostalgia here and there, for a film about how some White men created a shoe after Michael Jordan. It felt good to learn how the Jordans were the first Black family to stand up, and take some type of leadership on the marketability of this shoe.
I think I'll put this part in a spolier.

The part that gave me the creeps after the movie was over, was when Sonny said those heavy words in the meeting, like how the world was going to chew Michael up and spit him out, regardless who Michael signed with. I couldn't help but feel like the Jordans standing up, played a role in his fathers death. They just glanced over his father death in the movie with just a two second news paper clip, while everything was still sounding upbeat. Then when the movie was over, it showed how well Michael and his mother were doing, and everybody else except the one guy who died two weeks before something took place...can't remember what it was. They didn't show how Michael's father wound up towards the end of the movie, which I guess what have spoiled the movies momentum I guess. That's probably why they glanced over his death with that two second newspaper clip. I remember his father went missing for several weeks or months, and his body was already cremated before he was identified. How this could happen to the father of the greatest basketball player ever was sickening, and it wasn't no small thing. It left everybody stunned.
The end of the movie gave me a feeling that although Michael Jordan wound up being worth 2 Billion, it costed him his father, after Sonny warned him about how cruel the world would be in that meeting, the meeting that eventually made Michael sign the deal. But nobody would have expected this, even Sonny, I hope. It felt like the movie tried to hide what happens to us, when we make it too big, for example Bill Cosby, and what happened to his son, not to mention what happened to him later.

Really good film. Jordan should thank his momma everyday.
It made sense to go to where he'd be the #1 priority and where he'd get royalties.
I know when them shoes made $120 million in the first year, Nike was
at all the money they had to pay out.

For real. I watched it recently again while on a plane and was making the
face throughout the whole movie. Costner was wheeling and dealing draft picks like it was nothing
