Plot summary:

Quote

Summit’s Uncle Drew from director Charles Stone III will debut on June 29 against New Line’s comedy Tag and Sony’s Sicario 2: Soldado. After draining his life savings to enter a team in the Rucker Classic street ball tournament in Harlem, Dax (LilRel Howery) is dealt a series of unfortunate setbacks, including losing his team to his longtime rival (Nick Kroll).  Desperate to win the tournament and the cash prize, Dax stumbles upon the man, the myth, the legend Uncle Drew (NBA All-Star Kyrie Irving) and convinces him to return to the court. The two men embark on a road trip to round up Drew’s old basketball squad (Shaquille O’Neal, Chris Webber, Reggie Miller, Nate Robinson and Lisa Leslie) and prove that a group of septuagenarians can still win the big one.

This sounds like a really bad dramadey mix. If it wasn't for LilRel or Kroll, this would've seemed like a full out drama.

[BourneFan #1]

Irving's actually playing his Uncle Drew character in a movie?

Seems pretty obvious it's going to be a straight-up comedy to me. I doubt a movie featuring Shaq will even try to get into any sort of drama.

The boy Kyrie is in this. Nice.

[That One Guy]

Very good poster

 

[SLAM!]

I've been thinking.

 

This is coming out on the same day as Amy Schumer's already-controversial I Feel Pretty in June. So my question is: can this actually beat I Feel Pretty on that opening weekend?

LOL at you thinking this was a dramedy.

[75Live]

yeah I'll pass in the theaters.  Could be a watch on cable or Netflix though.

[RandomCat]

If moviepass is still around in June, I'll go see it.

This film is very fortunate that I Feel Pretty moved away from its weekend so that it has less direct genre competition. I think NBA fans and new fans of Howery & Haddish can make this a modest hit.

This looks campy fun to be honest. 

[MovieGuyKyle17]

Like I know this looks bad but this could at the very least be ridiculous stupid fun.  

[That One Guy]

lol I guess I accidentally predicted this film would happen
