An absolute cinematic disaster.

In Tree Hill, North Carolina two half brothers share a last name and nothing else. Brooding, blue-collar Lucas is a talented street-side basketball player, but his skills are appreciated only by his friends at the river court. Popular, affluent Nathan basks in the hero-worship of the town, as the star of his high school team. And both boys are the son of former college ball player Dan Scott whose long ago choice to abandon Lucas and his mother Karen, will haunt him long into his life with wife Deb and their son Nathan.

If One Tree Hill was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

Two solid hours of characters staring intensely out of rain-slicked windows. Brilliant work, One Tree Hill.

Watched One Tree Hill so you don't have to. You're welcome.

One Tree Hill: proof the studio reads its own marketing too literally.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in One Tree Hill actually is?

Everyone praising the One Tree Hill performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Unpopular opinion: One Tree Hill is the most overrated film of the decade

Honestly, One Tree Hill would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Hot Take: One Tree Hill's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece

Rewatched One Tree Hill last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.
