If you are hoping to see a funny, classic sports movie (i.e. Caddyshack, Slap Shot, or Bull Durham), you are probably going to find this a bit disappointing. However, it is still a very enjoyable movie. Bernie Mac does what he does best, and that is be funny. He works to make you care for the character and for the most part he is successful. Sex and the City fans will like the fact that 'Mr. Big' (Chris Noth) is in it, but truthfully, he has too little screen time to make his part memorable.

Underwater animated film Shark Tale has defied critics by swimming menacingly to the top of the US box-office for the first week of October. The tale of an ambitious fish that gets into problems due to misguided bravado was billed by some critics as a washout. But the movie, which boats an impressive voice-over cast of Angelina Jolie, Jack Black, Martin Scorsese, Renee Zellwegger, Robert De Niro and Will Smith, has bitten back - swallowing an estimated $49 million (£27 million) from Friday Read more
