    It's not good, it's not bad either... the rhythm is a bit off, actors are good but the lack direction and writing. Too many clichés also for my taste. They try to be "Finding Forrester" but don't capture the same "swagger" of the movie.

    Much like basketball, boring as paint. Nothing new is revealed here. Rags to riches because of athletic ability. Blah, blah, blah.

    “Swagger” might have one manufactured conflict too many, but when it settles into the stories that come naturally from these kids dealing with an uncertain future, it shines.

    Swagger is a realistic look at how a talented kid becomes a superstar in the youth basketball world, but at least learns how to be a fully-realized person if basketball (more than likely) doesn’t make him rich.

    Like a lot of shows about young people, “Swagger” has a habit of repeating itself a few too many times to make sure the message lands, but it never succumbs to its sizable “After School Special” potential because of Bythewood’s emphasis on people over theme.
