The Philadelphia Hebrew Academy Lions haven't won a game in two years. This year, however, team captain Alex Schlotzky (Alex D. Linz, 'Max Keeble's Big Move') is determined to lead his team to victory in the annual Liberty Basketball Tournament, being held this year in the Lions' own gym. But it looks like it'll take a miracle to break the team's losing streak as they continue to lose games while the tournament inches ever closer. Alex manages to find that miracle in ex-professional basketball player Lamont Carr (Richard T. Jones, 'Judging Amy') who was shooting hoops at the local park while waiting for a tryout from the 76ers. Alex manages to convince Lamont to help coach the team and hopefully give them the skills to finally win. Told on the backdrop of the legend of Jewish military hero Juddah Maccabee and the Miracle of Light, Hanukhah, Full-Court Miracle is a heart-felt story that manages to get its message across while also teaching it's audience a bit about Jewish culture and history. The story itself is nothing innovative, but is interesting and makes good parallels with the Hanukhah story. There is just enough comedy in the film to break up the more the dramatic scenes and provide a bit of relief. Linz does a good job of carrying the film, and is supported by an equally great cast. Linz plays his character convincingly, shows emotion well, and, all in all, makes a good performance. Jones plays his character convincingly as well and is great in front of the camera. The older Schlotzkies, Jason Blicker as Marshall and Linda Kash as Cynthia, play their roles well too. Kash does a good job as the mother who only wants the best for her son, even at the expense of his own dreams. Blicker is great as the father who also wants the best for his son, but also understands that the best is what he wants for himself. All told, Full-Court Miracle is a heartwarming movie that the family will like, if not love. The writers manage to keep basketball around as a back-drop, but do not let it take over the film, as in other sports movies. Rating: 8/10 for a slightly less than innovative story that is rather predictable.

Richard Jones the former court clerk on Judging Amy leads a nice mostly Canadian cast in a made for TV movie about the true story of Lamont Carr who inspired a bunch of Yeshiva kids to become the best basketball players they could be. These kids from the Philadelphia Hebrew Academy are more than likely not going to make the NBA still there love of the game is there. It's also nicely integrated with their faith. Alex D. Linz is the one who finds Jones living out of his van and they negotiate with him being their coach. The fact he's not Jewish is not a barrier but to Sheila McCarthy the principal her suspicious hackles are raised. Dare I say she becomes the Scrooge in this Channukah classic. Full Court Miracle is a nice family film for Jews at what is their Yuletide season. Nice film for everybody.

I never went to Hebrew school, probably because I am not Jewish, but if I had, I hope it would have been like this. The teachers have some lovely smiles and patience, and the basketball team seem really kind. I like movies where good things happen. Basketball is not often a sport that I understand, but this film makes it super easy to get your head around. Which is helpful because there is a lot of basketball in the film. I am glad I got my Disney+ account just to watch this film, because I did so on a recommendation from a friend. Her cat ran away recently, and she has been watching a lot of films to distract herself. She said that this is one of the best films she has seen in a while and she wasn't wrong. Lamont Carr is one of the coolest characters and Alex is a sweet boy....a tad precocious, but still a good kid. In fact, the bot that plays him is from Home Alone 3; my favourite film in the series. This meant that I enjoy this film even more. Go bulldogs! Woof! Woof! P.S: have you ever eaten gefilte fish? I haven't, but they eat it in the film and Lamont seems to enjoy it. Might be worth a try!

The reason I watched this movie is because of Richard T. Jones. I enjoyed his acting on Judging Amy so thats why I wanted to catch this movie. I also enjoy movies with sports in them. I ended up enjoying the movie for more reasons than Jones being in it. I enjoyed the character played by Alex D. Linz and I learned some things about Jewish customs. It was the first time I had ever heard that song the family sung as well. I think Disney does a good job with their TV movies because I have seen a ton of them over the years. I remember one called 'The Mary Thomas Story' that was well done, and it's good to see Disney still making good TV movies. Catch this one if you can.

"Full Court Mircale" was an amazing movie. I really enjoyed it. I didn't think it would be much of a movie, but when I saw it I was like "WOW...What a great movie." Not only does it teach you about the Jewish religion, it also inspires you to never give up on your dreams and that mircales do happen. I would definitely recommend this movie to everybody. 10/10

The coaching can make a difference, but not give a lot of miracle. Full-Court Miracle is just a simply mediocre basketball film that's both generic and respectful to the Jewish people. I admire Richard Jones' performance as the coach and show off both his coaching and his basketball skills and the respects for the Judaism history references to set examples for basketball. But the plot is generic that makes the message of following your dreams feel forceful and that the characters are either uninteresting or just plain selfish. The ones I can think that are selfish are the ones that think of this mentality that following the life's footsteps is the only key to success and not dreams. I think the best recommendation is for basketball fans since they are probably used to films like this. However, I'll say that if you either celebrate Hanukkah or that you want to learn a bit of history, then I guess this would be for you. But I don't really see the rush to watch it. There are some miracles here that may happened, but not a lot to be fully impressive.
