Stephen Holden New York Times Jul 12, 2013
3/5
In critical ways, the movie is a mess. The basketball scenes are so sloppy and haphazard that the would-be slapstick registers as confusion. But away from the court, the actors bring their caricatures to folksy comic life. Go to Full Review Farran Smith Nehme New York Post Jul 11, 2013
2/4
Lifetime movies have their pleasures, and so does this film. Go to Full Review Justin Chang Variety Jul 11, 2013
[A] strained and soapy empowerment comedy ... Go to Full Review James Kendrick Q Network Film Desk Sep 17, 2013
2.5/4
unlikely to put Susan Seidelman back in the front ranks of Hollywood, even though it is an enjoyable, albeit highly derivative, comedy that dares to put "women of a certain age" front and center. Go to Full Review Mike Scott Times-Picayune Aug 15, 2013
1/5
It's heart is in the right place, but -- with poor writing, lame humor and dreadful on-court sequences -- that's one of the only things right about it. Go to Full Review James Plath Movie Metropolis Aug 8, 2013
6/10
By and large this is a film meant to do exactly what the film's charity event does: to provide light entertainment while raising money for a good cause. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jun 2, 2019 It's a simple movie that's funny and a good waist of time. There's no big plot and it's ok to watch with the family. Based on production it's actually really well shot. The dialogue is a little off but again it's not a major motion picture. Enjoy it for what it is. A cheap comedy that'll have you laughing. See more May 28, 2016 FAr fetched story of former basketball p;ayers playing a charity game against the current high school state champions...and winning. A few cute moments but oh soooo cliched. And it is really hard to watch Darryl HAnnah...whatever has that woman done to herself. See more Apr 23, 2016 Sadly they're neither hot nor is there any flashing. Menopausal women's basketball movies just aren't what they used to be. Eric Roberts drinks Tito's in this movie though so there's that. See more May 16, 2015 Not hilarious or so , but enough entertaintment for a few laughs . Good to see Brooke again ! See more Jun 12, 2014 This is very mainstream and very ordinary in story, themes and direction. There's nothing here to add spice to a very unidirectional plot.
