This movie seems to have a funny and interesting idea from the outlook. Yet this movies never quite takes off in the right direction or any direction. Through the first half of the movie it builds up as a comedy. In... Full review

This movie stunk with a capital POOP. How did this movie ever get made? The best part is when Jerry Tarkanian smiles during the parade (It's funny watch that part in slow-mo). It could only get worse if Shaq was in... Full review

Nobody can argue that this is another great basketball movie along with Coach Carter (2005), White Men Can't Jump (1992), Above the Rim (1994), etc. I just bought this at Target for $9.99, and that is not a bad price if... Full review

Deseret News
And the screenplay by Ron Shelton ("Bull Durham," "White Men Can't Jump") is smart and witty, with a serious commentary (however superficial) on the corruption of college basketball.....a good chunk of this movie was left on the cutting room floor, with several woefully underdeveloped supporting characters -....MST Nick Nolte's central performance in "Blue Chips" is complex, volatile and charismatic -.... ...

Second, Blue Chips was never all that good in the first place. At first glance, it appears that Paramount couldnt have chosen a better time to re-insert Blue Chips into the public consciousness. ... Full Review

Lists like these are notoriously inadequate to cater to what each of us think is a great sports movie. Blue Chips" is also notable for the big screen debuts of one Shaquille ONeal and his NBA compatriot Anfernee Penny Hardaway. ... Full Review

Pete Bell, the coach played by Nick Nolte in William Friedkin's new film " Blue Chips ," has so far remained entirely honest. He also has a close friendship with the school's athletic director, played by former Celtics great Bob Cousy in a surprisingly on-target performance. ... Full Review
