    Uncle Drew is such a well-acted, warm-hearted basketball comedy that you’re liable to forget about its corporate origins. show more

    This journey to cobble together the old squad should be more fun that it is. Although you could say that about most of Uncle Drew. The onus is less on the performances; each former player holds his/her own. show more
