Synopsis

One on One

Having turned down other scholarships, high-school basketball star Henry Steele of small-town Colorado accepts a four-year basketball scholarship to attend Western University in Los Angeles, recruited personally by the college's renowned and winning basketball coach, Moreland Smith. The offer includes the basketball program handling almost every aspect of his life on campus, from the provision of housing in the dorm, to paying for a tutor--grad student Janet Hays--to help him with all his courses, to provision of a job-in-name-only for some pocket money, all for the goal of being able to focus on basketball. This situation is Henry and his parents' dream as all his future hopes are pinned on basketball.

He quickly shows his naivete about his new situation, such as that the showboating style that wowed crowds and won games back home doesn't sit well with the coach, as other team members are just as good as or better than Henry. And Janet has a well-founded condescending attitude toward Henry, having seen so many like him before who assume they don't need to do any schoolwork to get by. Henry will also learn of the corruption that exists within the system, which allows Coach Smith's administrative assistant B.J. Rudolph to use her position to try to gain sexual favors from the basketball players--Henry is her latest target--and allows Coach Smith himself to use less than ethical tactics to reach his end goal: a perfect, untainted record, both on the basketball court and for himself personally.

With someone unexpectedly on his side within this environment, Henry must prove to himself and others that he belongs, while hopefully seeing the bigger picture of there being more to his life than just basketball.

5/10

I found myself humming some of the catchier tunes after watching the movie, but I wished there was more consistency in the overall sound and theme of the soundtrack.

Elizabeth Roberts

4/10

The musical choices in One on One often felt out of place and distracting, overshadowing important moments in the film rather than complementing them. The lack of cohesion and thematic consistency made it difficult to fully immerse myself in the story being told.

Donna Hill

On the other hand, some songs felt outdated and out of place, making it hard for me to fully immerse myself in the film's world.

The soundtrack of One on One is a perfect complement to the emotional journey of the main character, Henry Steele. The music enhances the intensity of the basketball scenes and captures the essence of his struggles and triumphs on and off the court.

Brian Robinson

The soundtrack of One on One is a mixed bag for me. Some tracks were energetic and really captured the intensity of the basketball games, while others felt a bit generic and forgettable.

Nancy Garcia

The use of different musical styles throughout the film was interesting, but at times it felt disjointed and didn't quite flow seamlessly with the narrative.
