See "Recently Watched Movies" thread in Entertainment for additional comments.
 
I was just reading this article the other day. While Sandler was filming in Philly he got a few NBA and other Philly basketball names to play a pick up game at Imhotep. Justin Edwards was one of the people recruited for the game, along with Trae Young, Tobias Harris and others. Apparently Sandler is pretty good.

Adam Sandler joined Tobias Harris, other NBA stars for a ‘real Philly’ pickup game while filming ‘Hustle’

Trae Young, Boban Marjanović, and more took a break from filming to play some basketball at Imhotep Charter — but Sandler's bulldog, Bagel, had to wait outside.

God I hope this is better than Uncut Gems. That was terrible.

It's one of those weird movies where the audience rating and critics rating are completely different on rotten tomatoes. I enjoyed it a lot though
 
Coincidentally just watched it last night myself. I'm a huge Sandler fan, so I probably would have enjoyed anything, but I liked it quite a bit myself.

He's actually a pretty damn good serious actor.
 
Watched it last night as well - was much better than I expected it to be

Yeah I know a lot of people loved it.

I like him as both a comic and serious actor but I hated his character and the storyline of Uncut Gems. We rarely turn a movie off but we did with that one. With about a half hour left we both looked at each other and said we didn’t want to watch it any more. It was pretty clear where it was going and we didn’t care enough to see it. Or more so we were too annoyed by him.

I will see this one though.

Did you go into that movie expecting to be watching Billy Madison? Uncut Gems was very good.

No I was expecting something like Leaving Las Vegas. But I forgot that I ultimately hated that, too. Except for Elisabeth Shue.

Had the same thought myself. Didn't catch him during the movie either.

It's better than Air Bud.

I liked it. And all the hoopsters to a man were better actors than Kevin Garnett.

I didn't like Uncut Gems either.

He was great. I don't follow the NBA too closely, so I didn't recognize him. Thought it was an actor. A real natural.

Punch Drunk Love (2002) and Reign Over Me (2006) we’re really good serious roles too

Punch Drunk Love is one of my favorite movies ever. The carcrash scene is one of my favorite in any movie.

all the cameos didn’t hurt. and I was curious to see the spots they hit in Philly. I loved that he took one bite out of every cheesesteak. everybody know the rules.

The ER guy? Didn't notice him. Must have aged, or had a bit part.


Edit: Used Google. I'll let myself out.
 
I watched it over the weekend and thought it was really good. Basically basketball Rocky.
 
I watched it based on your recommendation and enjoyed it. So many NBA guys. They sure made Bo look amazing, but the guy who played him has been on 4-5 teams so far in his career.
 
Really liked the move. Watched this weekend as well. Did the owner of the Sixers (the son) remind anyone else of Carl from Billy Madison ha. Same villain type role for me.
