I can very clearly remember watching One on One in the movie theater as a young high school athlete and just loving it. Robbie Benson was such a nice, and likeable guy who tried so hard to play great ball and still be a good and kind person. I was really blown away on that first viewing. Having recently revisited the film I can still manage to see and understand why someone like me, at that stage of my life was so impacted by this film, but at the same time and with some age and wisdom I can now see the many cliches, flaws, and predictability of it all. One thing still works though and it's Robbie Benson and the fact that his performance still holds up. Sure, One on One has its shaw of flaws but its still watchable sports film after all these years.
