Reviewer: Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 04:22, 29 October 2010 (UTC) After reading through this article, I don't think it's ready for GA status yet. Here are the following issues I found:[reply]

Most importantly, and what makes this an auto-fail, is that there's no production information. Any GA film article is going to have something on the cast selection, production development, etc. Take a look at different GAs, such as Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events and Close Encounters of the Third Kind to get an idea of what's needed for that section. You kind of have a start with the cast section, but..
The cast section should be trimmed to focus on the main/secondary characters. Adding in nearly all of them doesn't help much. To throw another film GA out there, use No Country for Old Men (film) as an example of what to make. Cites are not required for the cast and plot section unless a direct quote or controversial thing is noted.
The reception section is better, but can be expanded on. Siskel and Ebert's review needs a cite, as does Maltin's. Use a few of the reviews found on rottentomatoes to make a section with some positive and some negative reviews counterbalancing each other. It says that it received mixed reviews, but you don't feel that when reading it.
You write that it opened at #1 in the lead, but it's left out of the box office section; add that in there.
Pop culture sections are frowned upon. Even if they can be cited my suggestion would be to axe it.
The NBA players section can be modified and expanded. I'm sure many of the players have commented on them either being part of their movie, or their playing in the film itself, for those that were bad. That would definitely make for an exciting addition.
The plot section is mostly fine. The lead is for now, but after everything else is fixed this will probably need expanding (do that last)

While the article has a long way to go for a GA, I think that the above can make it a GA-quality article. It sounds like a lot, but once things start falling in place it should be a breeze. If you would like help, the Film WikiProject is one of our stronger ones, I'm sure one of them will be glad to give you some pointers.

"Manner Washington as Jeffrey Jordan, Michael Jordan's oldest son. Eric Gordon as Marcus Jordan, Michael Jordan's youngest son." He has two sons. That should be older and younger. -est os for three or more.24.12.72.50 (talk) 01:04, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't just write the article alone -- a lot of people pitched in, but they just don't know what an encyclopedia is. Railer-man (talk) 21:55, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Don't get discouraged. Looking through the article's history, I can see that it has definitely improved. There's just a little more work to go yet. Quadzilla99 (talk) 02:19, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
