The Longshots (2008)

Based on the true story of the Jasmine Plummer, the first female to play in the Pop Warner Super Bowl, former local football star Ice Cube is asked to provide after school care for his niece Keke Palmer. With little in common, he introduces her to his favorite sport, only to be surprised to find she has a natural ability to throw the ball. It’s a simple, family-friendly film, but Cube and Palmer have a natural chemistry together and they both elevate their rather predictable individual roles to make it quite watchable.
