The Longshots
The new coach has a secret weapon.
Inspired by a true story, a poor Illinois town comes together behind the local Pop Warner football team and their unlikely quarterback, Jasmine Plummer (Keke Palmer), the first female in Pop Warner's history. Under the tutelage of her uncle Curtis (Ice Cube), a former high school football star, Jasmine leads her team, the Minden Browns, to the Pop Warner Super Bowl.

"The Longshots" is based on the real story of a young girl who rises to become a national football star, as a quarterback, with the help of her uncle, a former star of the grid-iron himself.
Ice Cube and Keke Palmer star as the down-and-out Uncle and girl, who seeks the guidance of a father-figure and gets it from her uncle. Her father disappeared from her life five years prior, and she is growing up without any tutelage, other than her mother who runs the local diner. It is a life-changing experience, enabling her to realize great dreams and gain self-confidence in the process. I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to get a positive message about life, and people in general. It's not great, but it will stay with you long after you watch it.Not Bad - nickell
The typical underdog Disney story with the girl playing for the boys team and showing them what’s what. A feel good family film, with the required lessons learned in ways that are overdone yet still get the point across. The actors make the film believable and the fact that it’s based on a true story lends credit to the unbelievable. Overall a good film but could have been much better.Longshots a Sure Shot - UncleRico
This movie has more impact based on the fact that it is inspired by a true story. It shows the trials and tribulations of Jasmine Plummer on her journey to becoming a quarterback. The acting is decent, but the story is beyond decent. It was a thoroughly entertaining story that leaves you rooting for Jasmine on her journey to the finals.
