Perspective: To portray a basketball player you should be good at playing basketball. Jack Harlow is not.
I’m not as bothered by the concept of the rebooted movie as I used to be. I used to hate them like I hate wet eggs and dry shin skin. Like I hated Eboni Thomas for a week in fifth grade after she said I smell like leaves. And just so you know that this antipathy ain’t just movie snobbery, I saw “Fast Five” — and “Fast & Furious 6” and “Furious 7” and “The Fate of the Furious” — in the theater. Day 1. Midnight viewing. And bought a Dodge Charger two months later.
I’m not even mad at the recent decision to reboot “White Men Can’t Jump.” I thought the original was good. The ending was weird, but the premise was great, and the casting was almost perfect. And if Hollywood has space for 17,000 dives into Boston’s underworld why not revisit the bountiful collision of street ball, hustling and racial stereotype?It’s possible I’m into it just because hustling on hoop courts is a subject I have an intimate knowledge of.
Jack Harlow belongs on the bleachers. Jack Harlow belongs at the bleacher factory. I’m sure he’s a fine young man, though.
