If there was anything in this movie that wasn't a cliché found in every other sports movie, then I missed it. Maybe I was getting another beer to help me through this. I almost called this an underdog sports movie, but even that is a tired cliché.
A kid goes from barely able to read to a B- in a couple of weeks, so throw in a miracle along with that barrel of used up story lines. You can overcome any odds, at least in a lame movie scenario, so, if you want miracles, have some real, honest to Jesús miracles. Have a kid jump from one end to the court to the other, or have the kids make every shot they take. Maybe have a meteor drop on the opposing team, killing them all and the game has to be forfeited. If you're going to be dumb, double-down on stupid.
