Charming, with peril-lite occurances...
Bow Wow plays Calvin, Morris Chestnut is the hottie who plays the foster parent for Calvin, Brenda Song is the Chinese female who befriends Calvin at the home while Jesse Plemons is the geeky, introverted yet very grounded white boy with glasses who gives everyone the best insight the movie holds. They (the preteens) all seem to have this unbreakable, unshakable, special bond that no one can dismember or join.
Calvin runs into these shoes one day (They were Michael Jordan's while he was in the same foster care) and he begins to play better and jump so, so much higher. When the enemy finds out however, they try to assault Calvin and take his shoes.
How low does it go? Very. They try and lock Calvin away so he doesn't get adopted IN addition to taking his shoes away temporarily.
Makes for a decent watch especially for kids. They'll want to see it twice a day for all of the cool moves the basketball players can pull off!

ONE of the coolest movies ever!
See bow wow when he was lil bow wow! This movie was a great movie! It has a moral message, huge actors and it's hilarious. This was one of my favorite movies when I was younger and I can still watch it. It's a great family movie. I have nothing bad to say about this movie at all! Check out the prices! They're such a bargain. If you like this movie, here's the 2nd movie; Like Mike 2 - Streetball. It wasn't as good as the first, but Kel Mitchell is in it! And it was hilarious also! Here's another one i'd suggest; Rebound.

VILE! ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE! 1 OUT OF 10
This movie went down at #2 on my top ten worst movies list. This movie is devoid of all things good and fails in everything. The story sucks, the characters suck, the humor sucks, and the special effects are very cheesy. Not even the hot cheeleaders will elicit any excitement because of how bad this movie is. Don't buy it if you value your soul and don't want to lose it to the poisonous suckage. If you watch it have someone break the disc shortly afterwards and call a priest to perform an excorcism on your DVD player, your TV, in fact, your whole house.

Great fun for the whole family!
This one surprised me. I expected it to be a little more hard, having Lil' Bow Wow as its main star. But BW, as I like to call him now, surprised me! He's a hell of an actor, and has a great career ahead of him.
As the older rappers pull the young kids into their "good 'ol boy" network, I hope that the quality doesn't start to take a dive, as it did, when this behavior was prevalent in the White corporate world. But given that I have not seen that yet, I hope that BW continues in his career to Rap Stardom!
Peace!

The magic of M.J.!
This is a full entertainment recommended for all family. A pleasant fairy tale adapted to modern times in which Cinderella transforms into a orphan boy who dreams and dreams until the hand of fate will intervene by him to make his dreams come true.
A sympathetic movie with a predictable end but that gets its aim.

Great Movie!
I bought this for my 9yr old son who loves basketball. He's watched it so often, even I know the words to the songs!
It's a great kids' movie!

A Good Movie!!!!
Like mike is a really good movie because it`s a story about an orphan who lives in a group home. And it was a bully who tried to take his sneakers and he threw it on top of a power line. Then he Calvin tried take them off and then the shoes got electrocuted and it gave the shoes a lot of power. He was selling candy to a coach and he gave him a $20 dollar bill and he went to the staples center. He got lucky when they picked him to play Tracy Reynolds. And he never missed a shot. The ending part was really good because Tracy adopted Calvin and Merph. I read some people reviews and they was hatin on it. (...) I`ve seen it a thousand times.

Good Movie
When my sister got this movie i thought it would be stupid.I didn't think i would like it because i'm not a big Basketball person. After a few weeks, i decided to watch it.
I WAS WRONG. It was a good movie.Everything about it was good. Basketball was not the only thing the movie dealt with. it also dealt with an ophan "making it big".
This is a movie for a DAD and a SON to watch together.

A pointless dud
This movie is just about some kid who wants to copy a famous basketball player,that's all.The acting is terrible,there is no plot,and the whole movie was just one big endorsement for Lil Bow-Wow.Don't watch this movie-rent "Space Jam" instead.
