[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I enjoyed it even though I don't think it's a great movie. I was a MASSIVE Jordan/Bulls fan in the 80s, so I was very primed to enjoy the nostalgia even though I was really young in 1984. Viola Davis was great but also James Tennon really nails James Jordan. They did an amazing job showing [b]how Deloris ran the show and took no $hit,[/b] while James was just the super proud dad who was thrilled to be along for the ride. I'm also glad they chose not to show Michael -- at first it felt like a cop-out but at the end when they showed real footage of MJ, I was glad -- any actor would have done him a disservice.

That said, I though Damon/Affleck/Bateman were a bit hammy, and I found the soundtrack incredibly heavy handed. No subtlety there, it was literally just "here's the Top 40 for the year 1984."

Still enjoyed it though. It's not winning anyone any Oscars but it was a fun watch.[/quote]

She did more than that, she completely changed the way that all sports stars thereafter were paid for product endorsements, forever breaking that glass ceiling. [/quote]
