Lil Bow Wow in family friendly fantasy.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 25, 2010

[A] summer-weight but winsome basketball fantasy.

| Mar 25, 2008

Director John Schultz's movie is as lame and predictable as you'd imagine, and it's chock full of orphanage cliches.

Full Review | Mar 25, 2008

It's formulaic stuff but done with enough gusto to entertain.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 30, 2006

Bow Wow makes an impressive film debut; parents and children will love Calv's plucky can-do attitude; and the action sequences are given a little more oomph due to the presence of real life basketball pros.

| Jun 24, 2006

A fantasy fable that should keep everyone in the family entertained.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 2, 2003

This irritatingly feeble basketball movie for kids is co-produced by the NBA, for whom it is pretty candidly designed as a giant feature-length commercial.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 6, 2003

As predictable as a Lakers championship.

Full Review | Aug 1, 2002

A valueless kiddie paean to pro basketball underwritten by the NBA.

| Jul 11, 2002

As with too many studio pics, plot mechanics get in the way of what should be the lighter-than-air adventure.

Full Review | Jul 11, 2002

It's not so much a movie as a joint promotion for the National Basketball Association and teenaged rap and adolescent poster-boy Lil' Bow Wow.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 11, 2002

Its sense of harmless, inoffensive wish fulfillment, along with its celebration of fatherhood ... is genuinely touching, if overly familiar and formulaic.

| Jul 11, 2002

A featherweight kids' movie set against a heavily sponsored official NBA backdrop, John Schultz's Like Mike is superhero fantasy for sport-minded youngsters and the adults they watch 온라인카지노추천 with.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 10, 2002

This is a lot of fun and Lil' Bow Wow, now calling himself Bow Wow, is very charming.

Full Review | Jul 10, 2002

Like Mike is a slight and uninventive movie: Like the exalted Michael Jordan referred to in the title, many can aspire but none can equal.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 9, 2002

Slick piece of cross-promotion.

| Jul 3, 2002

Pleasant but not more than recycled jock piffle.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 3, 2002

A squeaky-clean, warmhearted movie parents can send kids to without worries.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 3, 2002

One of the summer's pleasant surprises.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 3, 2002

Both the slapstick and the schmaltz are workmanlike enough to keep the little ones' eyes wide and bright. Grown-ups should be prepared to have their nerves milked dry.
