    Who let the dog out? The NBA that's who! And Little Bow-Wow will not disappoint. Feel good "Flubber" story that kids will really enjoy. Only question is "Where is the real Mike?"

    This movie was off the hook. If your a kid with alot hope in yourself and believe you can do it, also especially basketball this is the right movie to see.

    I really enjoyed it and it is an excellent movie for kids that like basketball and Lil Bow Wow. It is also a comedy and it is very kid-appropriate.

    Stupid movie made to sell the idea that shoes can make a kid play basketball better. I'm surprised footlocker and sport chek weren't the producers!

    I only took saw this because the kids wanted to go. I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised. It wasn't the greatest movie I'd ever seen, but it wasn't a complete waste of time, like say, Scooby Doo or the Pokemon movie.

    This movie is a good but not great family comedy film with cool NBA tricks. Some of the acting was a little bit off, but otherwise Like Mike is a good family movie.

  1. Like Mike has the synthetically wrapped pseudo-charm of a perfunctory ''Flubber'' sequel.
  2. 38
    A soulless jumble of ineptly assembled cliches and pabulum that plays like a 95-minute commercial for NBA properties.
  3. Appealing movie, one of the summer's pleasant surprises.
