Former Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst directs Ice Cube and Keke Palmer in this battle-of-the-sexes sports comedy about a former high-school football star who coaches his niece to become the first-ever girl quarterback in the history of Pop Warner football. Based on a true story, The Longshots opens in the struggling American town of Minden, IL. The Minden Browns used to be one of the strongest teams in the Pop Warner league, but lately things have taken a turn for the worst. Recognizing that his old team needs some fresh blood in order to make a comeback, a former player (Cube) trains his 11-year-old niece, Jasmine (Palmer), to throw the ball like a true gridiron giant. While the powers that be scoff at the idea of a female quarterback, they soon begin to sing a different tune as Jasmine leads the Browns to the championships and an invigorating shot at redemption. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

This movie sat on my table for a month before I watched it because I wasn't sure it would be any good. Glad I finally watched it and then I wanted to watch it again. It was a great true story about family & taking a chance. I absolutely loved it. I was smiling when it was over because it just made you feel good. A must rent for everyone.

I could not believe a former rapper directed this, a former rapper acted so well in this family feel good movie. The painful scenes are the bullying, football tackles and the retrobution.
