2nd best basketball movie
I always thought this story line was original, but now that I have seen "Glory Road" I am embarrassed to admit, I am not as well versed on college basketball history and can see where its genisis came from. So this movie is now the 2nd best basketball movie I have ever seen.

Average Light-Hearted Film
this was a Light-Hearted Film that was dealing with some subjects but this Film kinda is a lightweight take on TV's "White Shadow".still it's Ok in spots.

BEST BASKETBALL MOVIE EVER
I watched this move last night 3/12/02 on TBS and just had to write a review for this movie. I saw FAST BREAK when I was 10 years old with my dad, it was funny then, and it is still just as funny 22 years later. If you haven't seen this movie see it. Gabe Kaplan takes 4 inner city basketball players to Nevada, and finds one brute football player to make the fifth man, and a bunch of semi ok players, and turns them into one of the powerhouses of the smaller college confrences. The games they play are fun and exciting to watch. One of the funniest parts of the film is the bag of Marijuana and what they have to do with it. The finaly is great with a classic game of David vs Goliath pitting Kaplans team against the mighty, powerful, and nationally ranked Nevada State. A classic movie for any Sports fan, heck any movie fan would love this movie. Rent this movie, or buy this movie. You won't be dissapointed.

A bit dated but still a great movie
I loved this movie when I went to the movie theatre as a kid and saw it in 1979. I hunted around for it and bought it on video. I'll be the first to admit that watching it now it seems a bit hokey, but it's still an enjoyable movie. If you like basketball, and have ever dreamed of being a coach, then I think you'll like this movie.

Fast Break
This light-hearted story uses the basketball court of a small unknown southern university to depict the struggle of a group of talented individuals who come together to escape the poverty which surrounds them and the society which has forgotten them. Taken from the inner-city, each player, some reluctantly, join Gabe Kaplin as he travels across the county in an effort to produce something that the university has never had before, a winning basketball team. Paid only for each game he wins, Kaplin's original motivation seems to be a financial one. As time passes however, this set of individuals learn to overcome their differences to become a winning team... both on and off the court. In short a simplistic, enjoyable, and romantic comedy.
