ASSI - The actual life experience of Jasmine Plummer who became the first female to lead her Pop Warner football team to the tournament in 56 years. Jasmine played by Keke Palmer was the quarterback and only 11 years-of-age when her uncle played by Ice Cube introduced her to football in the film "The Longshots". Fred Durst, yes Limp Bizkit, does a creditable job of directing this movie that is ideal selection for family night. It is entertaining complete with drama, comedy, and sports that both the girls and boys are sure to enjoy. A pleasant surprise, I really enjoyed "The Longshots," and please with acting by the entire cast. Keke Palmer is a good actress, I have been a fan of Ice Cubes work since "Boyz N The Hood", a big fan to Tasha Smith who plays Jasmine's mother, and had a good laugh at the characters played by comedians Earthquake and Michael Colyar. It is truly a pleasure to see veteran actor Garrett Morris appear in straight to video and mainstream films, especially since his illness. As I see it "The Longshots" is a movie that was well written, acted, and directed and truly worth seeing. I give it 3.5 blinks.
