This movie is based on the true story of an 11 year old girl who became the first female quarterback in the 56th Annual Pop Warner Super Bowl. The movie The Longshots stars Keke Palmer as Jasmine, the young quarterback, and Ice Cube as her uncle Curtis. Curtis helps watch Jasmine when her mom is at work and over time is able to interest her in football. The sport and her membership on the changes her outlook on life and helps a community in need of hope. 

From the review,  "Dealing with themes of abandonment, bullying and self-esteem issues, the script contains some infrequent profanities and brief rude humor. Yet for this young girl who has been deserted by her father and begrudgingly babysat by her uncle, life on the football team becomes a way to build confidence and gain friends while learning to believe in her own self-worth as a person...valuable lessons for anyone who feels like a longshot."
