Blue Chips

Although that's probably the best argument for seeing this film, it's not all about Shaquille O'Neal here. It also offers an alternative look at the almost underground world of college recruiting & coaching. While the story is fairly well told and features a number of cameos by NCAA & NBA personalities, it seems to move too forward too fast. Plus the dialogue isn't the most well written-after a while you'll wonder how many more times the lead character wil shout "Goddammit!" before the film's over. Shaq does play his role as a basketball player very well, however, as do other notable stars in the film. That's probably the best reason to see this otherwise average film, although it has it's good moments too.
