In brief Longshots is the classic underdog story but with a few twists. Not only do we have a young,struggling,American rugby team we also have the struggle of a young girl trying to earn respect and gain a place in this young,struggling,American rugby team.

Yup, i'd say this is a decent family movie. good for teaching' kids this and that.

Fun enjoyable sports movie around a girl joining a football team n kicking ass.

The true story of Jasmine Plummer who, at the age of eleven, became the first female to play in Pop Warner football tournament in its 56-year history.It so amazing you should watch and read it!

This movie made my eyes water in some of the scenes. Ice Cube has a great eye for scripts that are family friendly and hilariously funny.

Why does this have such a low rating? I am starting to get the impression that people rate movies bad just because they have Ice Cube in them.

This is a sentimental feel-good family flick that may not shines above some in its genre, but is kinda fun, nonetheless. This does not come packed with all the bells and whistles, but succeeds in its honesty.

The only complaint I have is that the biggest gaffe of all has you following the dots- on Keke Palmer's face. In many scenes her acne is more than apparent while seconds later you're left wondering when she slapped on the miracle cream.

I know that this movie is getting a lot of hate, but I still wanted to check out The Longshots, once again, this is a movie that I am just baffled by all the hate. I thought this movie was actually decent and watchable, I know that the main reason why this movie is getting the bad reviews from IMDb users is because of Fred Durst, not to mention that everyone seems to hate Ice Cube's career choices.
