the cost of loving an ambitious person! the cost of ambitious people loving each other!
fran hoepfnerJan 23, 2021The moment when Q's parents are fighting so he crawls out his window, knocks on Monica's, and she lets him in so he can sleep on her floor, and you know they've done this hundreds of times? Yeah.

One of the key studio movies of the 2000s, with maybe the best soundtrack of its time. Such a quietly confident debut that is so sure of what it wants to say about Monica. Also a notable entry in the “movies starring Omar Epps in which he plays a guy named Q” hall of game.
Sean FennesseyFeb 12, 2016What impresses me most in this are the unspoken narratives: the difference between the way Quincy and Monica are treated throughout their careers speaks volumes about sports, sexism, and media. It's also strangely affirming that Monica is uncomfortable in a short dress;…

What I realise about the way black men are portrayed in films in the 90s. (Well the ones I've watched). They constantly getting it wrong before they get it right. And there's other commentary about that subject but it has nothing to do with this film. The film was great tho sweet
Keelin likedLove & BasketballThis was my mother shaving movie she rewatched him multiple times I am very fun with both of the main actors and I believe that they show young love is a serious thing and that as you grow you go to be different people but that doesn’t mean you have to grow apart .
Demonie Gilbert lovedLove & Basketballthis is my movie i have watched this movie over a hundred times it never gets old i just hate how he cheated on her in her face though like why do the directors make it to where they cheat on each other in good movies when they have a cute relationship

The conventional and the cliche are slam-dunked in favor of a fresh, authentic take on passion, ambition and coming of age.
