Corny, formulaic and unoriginal for sure, but not a terrible way to spend 100 minutes. Not bad for movie inspired by a prankish series of Pepsi commercials.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 21, 2022

The laughs aren’t consistent or as big as you would hope, but offers enough for a mild recommendation.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 17, 2022

Uncle Drew uses a shallow interpretation of race, never explicitly showing experiences specific to Black men.

| Original Score: C- | Jul 1, 2021

I didn't find it funny, but it was generally pleasant and inoffensive.

For a sports movie based on a commercial, there's more swishes than misses here.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 31, 2021

Never trying to be anything other than it says on the tin, it's an hour and a half of clichéd entertainment.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 19, 2020

[It's] little more than a dismissive diversion -- with product placement to spare.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 25, 2020

What laughs there are come mainly from Lil Rel Howery as the short, put-upon coach and Nick Kroll as a rival player constantly winding him up.

Go sit down in a cool theater for a nice light summer sport comedy that will have you yelling "BUCKETS!" while you laugh a lot.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jan 10, 2020

Despite some laughs, this basketball movie misses and misses

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 8, 2019

Basketball players pretend to be old people for 2 hours. Aside from a few quips, that's the whole joke. Oh, and plenty of product placements.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 4, 2019

Uncle Drew means to be a warm and feel-good film but the thoughtlessness with which the film is put together betrays its intentions.

| May 21, 2019

It was always an uphill climb to transform a 30 second Super Bowl ad into a feature film but with a good script this could have worked.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Feb 27, 2019

Uncle Drew isn't much narratively. There's not a lot of surprise or structure. But the basketball stuff is solid and watching athletes act is always a delight, while the performances of Howery, Irving and Kroll help raise the bar a bit.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 6, 2019

A cheery ray of positivity and a delightful summertime surprise in the sports film genre.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 22, 2018

I suppose if you have a cast that's game for anything, and a script that makes people laugh - anything is possible.

| Original Score: B | Oct 11, 2018

The movie does delve into some cliches in its runtime, making it easy to write it off. But if you're game, this movie is an enjoyable summer comedy.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 10, 2018

Mad predictable.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 6, 2018

Everything was stale.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 30, 2018

A fun little movie that's not perfect...will I watch it any time soon? Probably not.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 30, 2018
