Uncle Drew (Kyrie Irving) is a legendary basketball player from Harlem who is remembered by all the old-timers. Dax (Lil Rel Howery) loses his Rucker team and gets kicked out by his girlfriend Jess (Tiffany Haddish). He is penniless with no team. He's at a neighborhood court when he witnesses Uncle Drew take down an arrogant youngster. He convinces Uncle Drew to join his team and the two go on the road to recruit various old retired basketball players.
It doesn't start promising. I'm not laughing with either Lil Rel Howery or Tiffany Haddish. Then Kyrie Irving comes into the movie. I like him playing one on one and I like his chemistry with Rel. It's nothing ground breaking but it is surprisingly functional. My expectation was low and it's able to clear it.
