With promises of a reduced sentence, Jake Shuttlesworth (Washington) is granted temporary release from state prison in order to persuade the nation's top basketball recruit ... his estranged son, Jesus (Ray Allen of NBA's Milwaukee Bucks), to play ball for the governor's alma mater! But just as Jesus faces intense pressures and irresistible temptations contemplating his big decision, Jake is also forced to consider not only what's best for himself ... but what's best for his son! With a groundbreaking soundtrack by the legendary Public Enemy -- plus great cameos from John Turturro and basketball personalities Dick Vitale, John Thompson, Dean Smith, and more, He Got Game is a critically acclaimed hit you don't want to miss!

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Just sick!!!!!!!!!!!!, Denzel is amazing, Ray is amazing, and the rest of the cast is great. Its one of those movies that just gives off a sick vibe and puts you in the atmosphere it's depicting. It is one of my favorite movies of all time and definately one the top two or three movies depicting life in the black community. Nice Job Spike, this was your best work..Score: 5/5
Got It RightThis movie relates deep down to your bones and forces you to examine your soul. All the choices you've made in your life can be reminisced by the lead role of Jesus Shuttlesworth. What is life about...money, women, cars...or is it about staying true to yourself? This movie may not give you a definitive answer, but will help you on your way..Score: 5/5
Very good movie...Denzel is Denzel again in this movie, portraying Jake Shuttlesworth as a man whose life is filled with angst to great perfection. Ray Allen does a very good acting job for an athlete, and the supporting cast is good as well. Spike Lee has made a very good basketball movie and a very well done father-son movie. There are a lot of sex scenes for the movie, which seems out of place though. Still, He Got Game tells a very good story and has a really good feel too it..Score: 5/5

Probably my favorite movie of all timeNice job iTunes. This is an amazing movie. In my opinion, not only is it the greatest basketball movie, but also the greatest father-son movie. Denzel is on point as usual, great directing from Spike Lee (besides the kind of pointless sex scenes, but hey...can't complain) great photography, and great music (score by Aaron Copland and songs by Public Enemy, works perfectly) . Definitely a must see movie, and I'd buy it if I didn't already have it on DVD. It's nice to see iTunes is putting a lot of Spike Lee movies on here, but I'll wait for Malcolm X..Score: 5/5
