One on One (1977)

Member Rating:

Robby Benson plays a talented but naive high school basketball star who wins a scholarship to a perfection-driven college. Here he discovers that he's way out of his league, easily outclassed athletically by his opponents and by his own team. In addition, he runs up against the sort of arm-twisting corruption that often occurs in a college where winning is the only thing. Only the support of his new girlfriend Janet (Annette O'Toole) sees him through his first two semesters. He must weather the bullying of his teammates and his mean-spirited coach (played by G. D. Spradlin). There was plenty of shuttling between cast and production staff in One on One. Besides starring in the film, Benson co-wrote the screenplay (with his father Jerry Segal), while director Lamont Johnson portrays Benson's alumni sponsor. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The movie critics gave this movie average reviews but I think it was an excellent movie when it was released and it still holds up nicely. There is both drama and humor and a story line that keeps the viewer caring about what happens. The story centers around basketball, but you don't have to be a sports fan to enjoy the movie.

I think this was an excellent movie. I haven't seen it for years but it is a movie I haven't forgotten about. I will rent it if it ever becomes available.
