@StorymodeReactsIf he realized that he didn't love you, but saw that he still had feelings for his ex you'd be grateful he didn't go through with the wedding marrying the wrong person. Funny how you bitter misandrists are bashing Q for understanding that he's still in love with Monica and he couldn't go through with the wedding knowing that his heart belonged to Monica. It wouldn't be fair to his fiance. I'm so tired of you dense reactors bashing this film because you guys missed the damn point.
I remember when we were kids in the 80's my (male) cousin and I were shooting ball and he said "any child i have is going to play professional basketball." I said, "But what If you have a girl?" and He said "By then they'll have women's pro basketball." We were 8 or 9 years old.
I think people underestimate what Q was going through. If you look at it his dad was pretty much the only hero in his life, in a way he wanted to mold himself to be the man his dad was and in a matter of minutes his whole outlook was shattered so of course he was just a ball of anger and frustration.
@@jerryalexander8803 but I didn't & won't😂😂😂. It's called LOVE & BASKETBALL not GROWING UP & BASKETBALL.. All jokes aside, u saw time lines yes, but difference is the maturity of mements thru out baby boy hence the title. Boy becoming man. In "LABB" too many time jumps nothing solid other than the plot of the movie Love & the basketball, what It did 2 both families & themselves.
@@GRiZZiNK so showing Monica from a kid, to high school, college, to adult hood isn’t coming of age, okay.. how about this then the relationships in this movie and in baby boy were both toxic, regardless of the type of movie it was since we’re playing semantics.. peace ✌🏿
Not you treating Monica like Caitlyn Clark the whole movie. 😭😭 Monica was a hothead, selfish, boyish lil something. Her mom wasn't wrong. Sid wasn't wrong. Quincy *was* wrong sometimes, but Monica was in her own way 95% of the movie lol. Huge chip on her shoulder, making it harder to express herself than it needed to be.
🔥 Nice reaction! This movie is great bc it shows the true ups and downs of literal lifelong relationships, through a black lens.. It aint always gonna be perfect. Lots of intimacy and love, lots of breakups and arguments, reconnecting and questioning your own decisions.. but there can still be romance there, if it means enough to you to grab at it. There are no great movies with perfect characters and perfect relationships, by the way.. The whole point is to notice the shortcomings as an audience and learn from them, not judge them 😂😂🤦🏾
Multiple storylines are definitely tough to do.. but I think today's generations of young ppl's whole "thing" is to kinda side-eye things that came before them, just because... There's a reason why only the older movies get reaction videos made, lol.. because 98% of new art (movies, tv, music, etc) is not very good. 🤷🏾♂️
Imma toss out two great movies for you to bless your viewers with (if you haven't already seen them): 1) Eddie Murphy in the classic "Coming To America"......2) Eddie Murphy & Martin Lawrence in the EQUALLY entertaining movie "LIFE".......Always glad to see more movie reaction channels that are willing to at least "include" more black movies that many reactors just dismiss or overlook....Good luck with your channel. 👏🏾
LOL this was my cousins favorite movie. We both played basketball up until high school....and I hated it from jump. It was not romantic at 10 I knew it wasn't romantic. Them getting together in college was a waste of time because he wanted to be a player. After his dad got caught cheating, he just got in his feelings and took it out on her success. Jealous and petty since they met. He didn't even want her frfr. If he didn't get injured and wanted to use her as a cash grab, he would have stayed with Tyra, Gabrielle whoever. MONICA STAND UP!
Something Different I think it’s called is also a movie with the same mother and daughter. The daughter plays a very different character but just as intense. Not sure how that movie is seen since it has an interracial couple and it has some racial conversations that are a little awkward but well acted. Not sure I I love the quarter structure in this. I kinda wanted to see them together a little more in quarter 2 because it could’ve had some more cute moments to show how they care.
I don’t think the dad was that bad at all. I think Q just had an idealistic view of his father and treated him like shit cause he didn’t turn out to be god.
Love & Basketball is overrated in my opinion because BET, MTV & vH1 played it to death. It's not a romantic movie. Quincy was a narcissist. It was a trait he inherited from his father. He treated Monica the same way his dad treated his mom. Monica deserved better. Fun facts: Omar Epps & Sanaa Lathan were also in The Wood, Sanaa Lathan & Alfre Woodard were also mother & daughter in Something New & The Family That Preys, Sanaa Lathan & Regina Hall were also in The Best Man, Disappearing Acts & The Best Man Holiday, those two & Monica Calhoun were also in The Best Man & The Best Man Holiday, Omar Epps & Gabrielle Union were also in Almost Christmas, Omar Epps and Tyra Banks were also in Higher Learning & Omar Epps name was also Quincy in Juice as well. Please watch the following basketball movies: White Men Can't Jump, Above The Rim, Blue Chips, Hoop Dreams, The Air Up There, The Basketball Diaries, Sunset Park, He Got Game & Coach Carter.
A movie is overrated because a character deserved better... ? You realize ALL good movies have lessons to learn in em right ? Usually depicted from the mistakes of the characters, lol.. smh
@@HD00957 I realized that all good movies have lessons to learn to them them. I called it overrated because it didn't hit for me due to BET, MTV & vH1 playing it all the time.
The 1 on 1 was literally the last thing they did before they started a family... not the only thing. Don't forget they do have 20 years together.. the 1 on 1 was the thing that brought them together romantically in the first place. It's a good call back that ties the movie together.
I posted about it in the community tab, but it got hit with a copyright in the middle of the night and got taken down. Working on a fix for a new version of the video to go up hopefully soon 😵💫
@StorymodeReacts I feel ya frustration with it. Lol. RUclips definitely needs to be more consistent and fairer with its rules. Cause others get away with it. While others don't. That's not fair.
They was both wrong at times but she was a lil trash not letting that man move on cause she lonely. He was emotionally immature and she was a narcissist full of her own insecurities.
Thin and simplistic? Both have full careers, multiple relationships and B and C storyline issues to deal with throughout the entire film... and they ALL playout on screen... How is that simplistic and thin??
@@HD00957 what does having a "full" career have to do with them as characters? Why do they even like each other? We never see why they love each other. The movie is whack.
This movie is trash and the only people that think it’s a love story are the ones constantly rotating in and out of toxic relationships. And I say that with so much love in my heart 🥹🤣 He played her this entire movie and I’m supposed to be happy he “gave in” to this woman who is clearly out of his league? Naur. Sidenote, I think Sanaa said she lied and said she could play basketball to get this role and needed lessons which makes me cackle.
Let me find out my fiancé in his backyard with his ex hooping for his heart ... 🤣
RIGHT 😭😭
But to be fair you'd walk in on him completely *destroying* her and would probably start cheering him on... up until he asks for double or nothing.
Let me play you for your heart
@@Athasin at that point im squaring up wit him, his ex, & the basketball. 2 weeks b4 the wedding? Nah everybody getting these hands🤣🤣🤣🤣

I see why monica had an attitude problem she got dismissed by everyone but her pops in this movie
Her sister didn't dismiss her
Pops wasn't perfect she noticed how he treated her mother... Honestly only her sister was there for her
Her mother worked on my nerves. Just let her grow into the woman she's supposed to be without forcing her to be the one you want her to be.
Monica had to go overseas because the WNBA actually had not started yet.
"Insert royalty free beatdown music" 🤣
Not gonna lie... telling Tyra Banks "thank you for your services" is kinda crazy 😂
I’ll give it a 9 out of 10 🏀. They had a lil run together Omar and Sanaa. First The Wood then Love and Basketball. A dynamic duo.
29:32 "damn, he's out there kinda hoopin" 😂😂😂
“I hate that for her” 😂😂
16:23 “I KNOW THATS NOT DIAMONDS COUSIN FROM THE PLAYERS CLUB!”
Lol ma 😂🤣
Monica stand up sister killed me lmaoooooooo, great reaction

“What I gotta do?”
Lol
The most toxic love story 😂😂😂
Did you ever see Baby Boy?
@@extremeking425 I don't look at it as a love story. More of a coming of age/growing up in the hood movie.

Check out the movies Roll Bounce(2005), Like Mike(2002), ATL(2006), Above The Rim(1994), Baby Boy(2001), and Set It Off(1996).
The actual score board got me.🤣🤣🤣
Will forever be my favorite movie & baby the one liners are amazing.
When I see the Allstate guy, I always think of him as the cheating ass father in "Love And Basketball."
He was also a cheating ass father in Waiting To Exhale.
@@therealmarlonbellamy Came to say this, you beat me to it. 😂🤣💀
@@badgyrl310 And Savannah’s mom had the audacity to say he’s was a good man. Knowing he was married.

You look like you could've played Debbie Morgan's(woman that played Quincy's mother) daughter in this movie! Great reaction btw!
braids look amazing btw
Thank you!
One of my favorite movies. I wish they would have made a part 2 love the video story mode stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way
I'm kinda glad they didn't because sequels to romance movies tend to have a cheating plot because writers can't think of anything else.
Seeing Kyla Pratt made me think you have to do Jackie’s Back lol
Off topic but what’s funny is watching you watch this literally had thinking of Mr. Morale and the big steppers
Cool reaction. This is one of my favorite movies.
Depends on what you deem "romantic"
Your reaction was hilarious

I had so much fun watching with you. You nailed it on all points, calling it like it is. Can’t wait for the next movie
I was just thinking about this movie lol thank you!
The question is WHAT do women want to be INDEPENDENT OF??????
If One Day You Can Watch Brooklyn’s Finest… That Would Be Fantastic
Great reaction! 👍🏿
Great reaction
Toxic parents and toxic love hood classic
Love & Basketball was my favorite movie growing up, I guess, because I was so into ball at the time. I thought I was going to be like Monica.
lol Lowkey this my favorite movie I can recite the whole movie lol 😂
Lol im for sure will be bringing out the basketball once my girl comes back from bmt 😂
I think you should watch acrimony

Being overrated and seeing it too many times are two different things tho.. but I respect the opinion
I’ve watched three women watched this movie and it’s amazing how women let their feelings not see what really was going on through the entire movie
I think it woulda been cooler if the movie had an ambiguous ending instead of them literally deciding to start a family over a 1 on 1 lmaoooo
The 1 on 1 was literally the last thing they did before they started a family... not the only thing.
Don't forget they do have 20 years together.. the 1 on 1 was the thing that brought them together romantically in the first place. It's a good call back that ties the movie together.

@@StorymodeReacts I see, thank you.
Q saw her for her and for her to not be there its hurt, always go to protect first so he protected himself after.

It's a coming of age movie
I’ve still not forgiven this movie for creating an unreasonable expectation of love for young impressionable me 😆 trash. Hate this movie 😂😂
Awesome reaction/ can you please watch a movie called ANY GIVEN SUNDAY.
Ppl don't watch women's basketball in the US. That's why they don't get paid as much, but Kaitlyn Clark and Angel Reese are changing the game. 22:44
I really dislike this movie but love your review
Yknw who the real victim was? Tyra Banks. She lost her fiancé a day before her wedding to a midnight basketball game. Stop doing movies with Omar 🗣️
Ohhh nawww nawww.... no you didn't cut the love making scenes from a love movie. 😂😂😂 The "this not a romantic movie" agenda is wild. 🤣🤣🤣
RUclips doesn’t let that fly lol

You may or may not see this, but i feel like we’re the same age. You look like you’re in your mid-late 20s.
A little older, but I’ll take it 😌
😢😢😢
They was both wrong at times but she was a lil trash not letting that man move on cause she lonely. He was emotionally immature and she was a narcissist full of her own insecurities.
You gotta watch (Higher Learning)... Please.
I don't get why people like this movie so much. These characters are so thin and simplistic
People like it so much because of the cast.
Or people like it cause they like it and it’s realistic there’s lots of toxic relationships in the world
@attitudepoplll2292 it is so dumb, and that's a better explanation most people can relate.
