Uncle Drew (2018)

This sucked beyond belief.  With just a wee bit of energetic life, it could have been funny.  Or, sort-of funny.  Or, something.  But, this?

No.

In fact, Uncle Drew has an obnoxious affect which is hard to ignore and once you hear him singing along with the Isley Brothers, you might turn away from them for awhile.  Just long enough to get the U. D. taste out of your mouth.  Ack!

Slightly funny somewhere along the way would have been edifying.
