The middle act drags when they recruit each legend. The jokes repeat: âOh, old person canât see / has bad knees / uses a walker â wait, now theyâre dunking!â
The final tournament game is genuinely well-shot. Unlike most sports comedies, the actors (actual pros) execute real crossovers, no-look passes, and posters. 3. What Doesnât Work Plot is paper-thin Youâve seen this âget the old team back togetherâ structure a hundred times. The villain (Nick Kroll) is cartoonishly annoying, not threatening. Tiffany Haddishâs coach character feels underused and added in reshoots. Oncle Drew Film en streaming complet vf ...
Heâs the emotional anchor. His frustration, hope, and eventual growth from selfish to selfless give the film a heart the basketball sequences alone couldnât provide. The middle act drags when they recruit each legend
Shaq steals every scene. His delivery of âIâm not as good as I once was, but Iâm as good once as I ever wasâ â then dunking â is pure joy. Lil Rel Howery
However, I can offer a genuine critical review of the actual film (2018) â the basketball comedy starring Kyrie Irving in makeup as the elderly playground legend. Deep Review: Uncle Drew (2018) Director: Charles Stone III Stars: Kyrie Irving, Lil Rel Howery, Shaquille OâNeal, Chris Webber, Reggie Miller, Nate Robinson, Lisa Leslie, Tiffany Haddish, Nick Kroll 1. Premise Dax (Lil Rel Howery) is a down-on-his-lock coach who loses his streetball team to his rival (Nick Kroll). To win a tournament and a cash prize, he tracks down the mythical Uncle Drew (Kyrie Irving) â an elderly, seemingly frail point guard with unreal skills. Drew agrees to play only if they can reunite his old championship squad from the 1960s, all now in their 70sâ80s. 2. What Works Physical comedy & prosthetics The elderly makeup is surprisingly good, and NBA legends commit fully to moving like old men â until they explode into athleticism. The contrast is the filmâs main joke, and it lands more often than not.
