Thunderstruck is an after-school special that lucked into a couple of NBA all-stars for its ensemble. The language is a little coarse for a family film. And, yes, sometimes it feels like a Durant highlight reel - or an OKC Thunder infomercial - stretched to feature length, with the occasional life lesson tossed in to balance the film's obvious commercial angle.

A by-the-playbook, family-friendly basketball comedy that never strays outside the paint, Thunderstruck likely won’t score much coin during its limited theatrical runs. Still, this lightly amusing confection — a Warner Premiere presentation that all too obviously resembles a typical made-for-homevid product — could rebound during playoffs in smallscreen platforms.

I thought that the film might be entertaining. Even if it isn't that funny, I thought the story was kind of thoughtful and might be great for some kids who are trying to be good at basketball.

only decent acting in this movie was KD's agent plus its not realistic those kid were twice the size of brain they would have beat his ass same way if KD was in a game with a bunch of 14 foot mother **** talent like that doesn't out rule genetics

Headlining a less-than-mediocre kids’ movie taints one’s brand rather than enhancing it. Just ask Shaq.

One of dumbest movies ever made.
Dumb plot, horrible dialogue and even worse acting.
Who green lights this trash?
