Uncle Drew – 4 out of 5

I don’t watch a lot of television when it is originally broadcast so I don’t see many commercials.  Due to this, I was unaware that the character of Uncle Drew originally came from a marketing campaign from Pepsi Max.  I saw the trailer in the theater and thought the film looked funny but I never knew that this character already existed in the world.  I will admit that it is kinda strange watching a feature length comedy that was spawned from a commercial but they tried to make a TV show based on Geico’s cavemen ads so, realistically, how bad can Uncle Drew be?  Amusingly, enough, that caveman show starred a gentleman in this feature.  Honestly, it wasn’t bad at all and was a pretty fun trip!

GOALLLLLLLLL!!!!

Dax (Lil Rel Howery) is a huge fan of basketball that once dreamed of making it big on the court but now works at Foot Locker during the day and coaches a perspective team in his free time.  He and his girlfriend Jess (Tiffany Haddish) hope to use his star player Casper Jones (Aaron Gordon) to win the Rucker Classic; however, when his old rival Mookie (Nick Kroll) steals Jones away from him, Dax’s dreams are shattered and Jess kicks him out.  Lost, Dax gets some advice from his barber Angelo (J.B. Smoove), and tells him about the great Uncle Drew (Kyrie Irving); a basketball legend who mysteriously disappeared when he was supposed to take part in the Rucker Classic.  Fate intervenes and he sees the older man schooling young players on the court and decides to take a chance.  Uncle Drew agrees to be a part of his team and play in the tournament but only if he can bring his old crew; Preacher (Chris Webber), Lights (Reggie Miller), Boots (Nate Robinson) and Big Fella (Shaquille O’Neal), with him.  Reluctantly, Dax agrees but past grudges, Preacher's angry wife (Lisa Leslie), and the natural process of aging might stop them from winning the game.

Since Uncle Drew, a character from a commercial, worked out so well in this movie,
can we get a film about Terry Tate Office Linebacker?

I say this every time I watch a sports-related feature and that is I don’t know anything about sports.  Even with this mentality, I still found the trailer to be amusing and wanted to see the film.  Uncle Drewdoesn’t present a movie about basketball but rather a story of humor and heart that just so happens to contain basketball.  The film explores all the tropes of sports features like overcoming adversity, determination, disciple and more but with a more comedic leaning.  Yes, the story plays out how you expect it but the film never comes off like a cheese and crackers underdog story and that’s what made this film so fun to watch.  It strikes that balance of being funny and fun to watch but without feeling like it is crossing the line into being overtly inspirational.

Well, this definitely would make church much more interesting.

That facial hair actually works very well for Shaq.
He looks pretty badass.
The cast is fantastic and the feature does a tremendous job of mixing real-life basketball stars and comedians.  What’s the most impressive is how the sports stars perform.  Sometimes when a cast contains individuals who aren’t actors by trade the results can be a mixed bag.  However, in Uncle Drew, the sports stars (who, admittedly, all have plenty of acting credits on their IMDb pages) are all doing a tremendous job of not only showcasing their talents on the court during gameplay moments but showing they knew how to hit the right moments—whether it be for the comedic times or more down-to-earth dramatic scenes.  Finally, Lil Rel Howery does a tremendous job of leading the charge in this movie.  Being the lead and, essentially, the comedy’s straight man, Howery is the perfect guiding force to watch the story unfold and his chemistry with the entire cast is terrific.  I especially enjoyed his back and forth with Nick Kroll.

Sometimes Kroll can be hard to watch when he's all the way turned up but,
when properly dosed, the man is really funny.

The only drawback I found for the film is the makeup sometimes looked strange to me.  For the most part, the makeup effects that turned the young cast members into older individuals looked great.  However, there were times during close-up shots and certain lighting that the makeup looked very obvious.  These moments were usually early in the movie and once I accepted the film’s reality, I never once paid attention to the makeup again and was fully onboard with what I was seeing.

I'm just gonna go ahead and say it, Lil Rel Howery is a treasure.
The man is hysterical.

Uncle Drew has the usual tropes of the sports film genre and presents them with humor and lots of fun.  The cast is fantastic and the movie has some great music to keep it lively and moving.  Since this film was born out of a soda campaign, I had a lingering doubt in the back of my head that this film would be hollow and pointless but the end product was incredibly entertaining.
