I don't like sports or romantic movies. Both genres are so full of tropes they predictable. This movie was neither and followed its own path and steered clear of those tired tropes. It was so refreshing and well done on a shoe string budget. It Was like a play. The relationships between the leads is touching without being too sappy. I absolutely love the neighbors! They remind me of how I grew up and how we grew apart. A gem and well worth the watch. Seems perfect for a film festival. Would watch again..

A gem (baseball diamond?) of a movie
Home run
To me this is what indie filmmaking looks like at its best. It's a tender story from the heart told in three parts, a journey from the innocence puppy love to the complications of reality as we age. The themes are timeless, the writing is lovely, and the actors hit it out of the park with beautifully emotional performances.
(And FYI: this film has nothing to do with Love and Basketball other than the similarity in title. There's no appropriation and in fact comes from a diverse Hispanic and white cast & crew.)
The direction is clean and clear, the cinematography is pleasing on the eyes. It's well-crafted. Really charming flick. Thank you to the filmmakers.
Surprised I liked it.
I'm old, male, and straight. This movie was definitely not made for me. To be completely honest, I only watched it because I found the lead actress attractive. But surprisingly, I thought it was a pretty good movie. Considering it cost about $20 to make, the leads did a great job with the back and forth dialogue.
