Sometimes I don’t know what to watch on the streaming services. When that happens, I just accept the offered recommendations. I mean, most of the time, it’s just background noise anyway. The suggested movie the other day was called, The Longshots.
It’s about a small-town girl (Jasmine Plummer) who spends her days reading. She loves books as she’s lonely and shunned by popular cliques. Due to a couple of events, she finds her stride in an unlikely place as she becomes the local high school star quarterback. She embraces her talent and moves toward the unexpected. She becomes the first female quarterback to ever play in the Pop Warner Super Bowl.
She did not do this all on her own.
Her “Uncle Curtis (Ice Cube)”, having been forced to babysit, discovers her talent. Curtis continually encourages and coaches Jasmine (Keke Palmer). He stands by her - always.
