IMDb Rating: 7.6/10 Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 88% Metacritics Rating: 76/100 My Favorite Quotes 1. "You know most people would kill to be treated like a god, just for a few moments." - Coach Norman Dale 2. " I would hope you would support who we are. Not, who we are not. These six individuals have made a choice to work, a choice to sacrifice, to put themselves on the line 23 nights for the next 4 months, to represent you, this high school. That kind of commitment and effort deserves and demands your respect. This is your team." - Coach Norman Dale 3. "If you put your effort and concentration into playing to your potential, to be the best that you can be, I don't care what the scoreboard says at the end of the game, in my book we're gonna be winners." -Coach Norman Dale If your looking for a classical basketball movie your in the right place. The plot follows a former college basketball coach who takes a job as tge head coach for a rural high school basketball team. with the urgency to win very high he is forced to bring this team to the top. The realistic acting and attitudes of all the supporting townspeople and basketball players makes for a very realistic scenario. Unfortunately the description is misleading by saying the coach has a dark past. He does, but its hardly touched on only in small meaningless conversations. I did like the one players dad and the inspiration brought to me by his character and his performance. I really liked the basketball game scenes they were realistic and fun to watch. There was no real downfalls for this film it was all around very solid with loads of exciting moments. Unfortunately there wasn't much to it. A worth while film. |
