Synopsis
After Dax (Lil Rel Howery) lost his life savings in a bid to enter a team into a street ball tournament in Harlem, he is desperate for another chance to compete – and win that cash prize. But to do so, he’ll need to pull together an all-new team… or so he thought, until he witnesses the legendary skills of septuagenarian baller Uncle Drew (NBA All-Star Kyrie Irving) and realizes that an all-old team might just do the trick! Together, Dax and Drew set off on a road trip to round up Drew’s old basketball squad (Shaquille O’Neal, Chris Webber, Reggie Miller, Nate Robinson, and Lisa Leslie) and prove that age is just a number – but it’s the final score that counts. Also starring Nick Kroll, Tiffany Haddish and J.B. Smoove, Uncle Drew is the big-screen adaptation of the fan-favorite Pepsi digital episodic series of the same name.

Uncle Drew operates on a plane of existence where Letterboxd ratings do not apply.
Matthew SaponarJun 19, 2018The best film ever adapted from a series of soft drink commercials (tough luck, “Space Jam),” Charles Stone III’s “Uncle Drew” is such a well-acted, warm-hearted basketball comedy that you’re liable to forget about its corporate origins. To be honest, it’s hard to think…
davidehrlichJul 7, 2018i know it’s based on pepsi commercials but the editing and directing of this movie straight up makes it feel like a series of pepsi commercials strung together into a movie. there’s one very funny moment every 15 minutes of this movie and ⅓ of those moments belong to nick…

I’m not sure if anyone has said this before..... and I apologize if so...... but Lil Rel Howery looks like the dude from Spongebob that hides the pickles under his tongue
kaylaJul 2, 2018All honesty, the NBA players in the movie were ACTUALLY not bad at acting (probably learned how to act from flopping every play lol). For those who LOVE BASKETBALL, you’ll like the movie. Everyone else, the story is a little slow but it picks up at the end. SHAQ IS THE…

much more heartfelt and warm-tempered than i expected it to be. sure, you'll have a bog-standard formula flogging a dead horse, but getting a transference of the fun everyone involved had here is worth a sunday afternoon watch. and it's never wrong to get thrown in a couple…

My favorite basketball player in a movie! I went to see this movie when it came out in theaters and I wasn’t disappointed, I loved that they had all the old players such as Kareem to be in this movie. Overall, would watch again.

Great feel good movie. Perfect for the whole family!
SMShandrea MiddlebrookMy Review: If you love the game like I do 🏀 you will simply appreciate seeing Chris Webber, Shaq, Nate Robinson, and Reggie hoop again..... and btw it’s hilarious. (Take the kids) 👌🏾🤣
THTerrance HattonSeeing legends of the game makes it funny. Also Lil Rel is becoming a comedy great. Highly recommend for a good laugh.
- CWChris Wright
Funniest moment involved Webber and a timeout reminder. Uncle Drew is a great character, but this worked a lot better as a series of commercials. Not enough plot or one-liners for 90 minutes. Don't leave early, though. Second half of movie is much better than the first.
CMc mthis movie was great. the guy who played uncle drew was so good if basketball don’t work out please act
LTLeslie ThomasThe movie was surprisingly funny, with an amazing message for people of all ages. This is a must see, and I suggest watching the credits, they're funny as well.

Its NBA all-star cast — well hidden under layers of makeup — has a winning chemistry making them easy to root for.

Uncle Drew is a goodhearted broad comedy, one where you don’t have to know the players (under all that latex) to enjoy the game.

Teamwork. Friendship. Family. Playing for the game’s sake, not money. All these themes come together in a warm-hearted but highly predictable way.
