I am a person who loves movies .. all movies ... and for me it takes a lot to say for a movie that its bad ... but Matchups is achieves new meanings of the word "lame".
The idea of the movie is not bad in fact, but extremely bad acting and just simply horrible realization overcomes any possible good. Seriously, whats up with the main actor, addressing the players in the team he coaches as "Son"... all the time ... and from the story you can realize he's just 2-3 years older than them ...... and he does it again and again. Also, the way he advices the team during the game ... there's surely not a single person who just watches basketball that would not be ashamed to tell a bball player "i know, the winning strategy is to run and shoot" ... even worse, players think these kinds of advices are magic ... and suddenly all falls in place. There is so much more of this kinds of scenes ... its really too much...
I was desperate to watch a movie that day ... I didn't have anything else to watch ... but I preferred to stop in the middle and go stare at the wall.
My advice: If you are not interested to see how a high school directing/acting project looks like ... stay away from Matchups!
