Hustle starring Adam Sandler | Discussion Thread

[CarltonJunior]

We need Anthony Edwards in more movies

Dude's clearly a star off the court and on. I remember thinking that the dude's a complete idiot and didn't love the game before he got drafted and not only did he prove me wrong basketball-wise but his role here shows me he's business savvy too. Salute to him

I put this on the same level as Uncle Drew. Just a nice feel good flick

I don't know why but the thing that irked me most about this movie was Sandler's character taking the kid to meet The Professor to work on streetball moves.


It's not a bad movie. I was entertained. It shows a love for the game which is admirable. It's missing that it factor that movies like Above the Rim and He Got Game have imo.

I didn't see it that way. He just wanted him to get some shifty-ness in his handle and some stop n go on a dime in his footwork. That's how I saw it.


Entertaining flick. The Rocky of basketball

The director said it was important to see an interracial couple in the film.

Ha, what the fukk. We see that shyt all the time in cheerios and car commercials. Did he say why?

I feel like this could have been a better without all of the forced cameos.

This movie was really good. I enjoyed it from start to finish. I didn't expect to like it this much, hence why I didn't watch it immediately

This was solid and I’m not a Sandler fan. Ant gonna be a superstar on and off the court.

I gotta echo the sentiments regarding Anthony Edwards. Had no idea he could act going into this and boy was I blown away. Loved his performance.

Very enjoyable, albeit predictable, movie.

 

[Duke Dixon]

That was good. This movie made up for that Hubie Halloween movie I watched on Netflix

Sandler adds another good sports comedy for me.

Waterboy
Longest Yard
Happy Gilmore
Hustle

Maybe Uncut Gems and Pixels count.

They said Anthony rewrote some of the lines to sound like something he’d really say.

 

[Bob Loblaw]

Anthony edwards can shyt talk and play basketball. what an actor

 

[beenz]

adam sandler can make good movies when he's not relying on his formulaic slapstick bullshyt. this as well as uncut gems were obviously very good recent sandler movies.
