Despite its more cheesy elements, this movie shines as a heartfelt drama about a couple that was practically destined to be together.
The whole “she can be a girl AND play basketball” plot feels extremely dated today, though her determination to be a better person and find her independence within her relationship remains powerful.
And the final scene MY GOD!
It leans into some very classic melodrama tropes, but with an all black cast and the basketball backdrop, it strikes a different tone than they often do.
