Blue Chips (1994)
Member Rating:  
Blue Chips examines greed, cheating, and "winning at all costs" in the world of college basketball. Nick Nolte plays the stressed-out coach on the verge of his first losing season, who hits the road in search of new players not already signed by a bigger school. He finds three prospects: a precision Chicago shooter (Anfernee Hardaway), a giant farmboy (Matt Nover), and a talented troublemaker (Shaquille O'Neal). All three, wise to the ways of college basketball recruitment, make excessive financial and lifestyle demands before they can be persuaded to come to the school; the coach, already haunted by accusations of underhanded dealings, doesn't want to dig himself a deeper hole but has no choice. ~ Don Kaye, Rovi

    I really enjoyed this film. Nick Nolte does a wonderful job portraying a man at odds with sticking to his morals (and losing) or abandoning them (and winning). The ending shocked me but didn't disappoint. Personally, I love sports movies that are inspiring and this one doesn't fail to do so. I would definitely recommend it.

    Just to see the way these kids are recruited and the effect it has on all involved. Nolte plays a very good role and penny is always enjoyable to watch. Overall the movie was a good watch more than once.
