So, 'Read Between The Lines' is this curious little drama from '87 that combines the charm of a family story with a touch of sports adventure. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it kind of works with the narrative. You’ve got this illiterate toy maker — a real underdog — whose invention is snatched away. His grandson enlists the help of none other than the Harlem Globetrotters. It’s a wild mix, really; the performances are earnest and carry a warmth that you don’t often see. The themes of literacy and family connection definitely ring through. Practical effects are minimal; it’s more about the characters’ journeys. But hey, there’s something earnest about it that makes it memorable in its own right.
