If you like remember the titans and lean on me then you can't go wrong here. There is some language though.

This was a great movie - very exciting! It is a must see for young teens because it really has some valuable lessons. It is definitely one of the better movies we have seen in a while!

The idea was good, headed in the right direction, however; near the end of the movie the show slowed way down and the team didnt even win. They should have focused more on the avdancement of their education rather than the sports.

The coach sets the bar high for the kids and holds them accountable for their actions. As a result they have more respect for themselves and everyone else. Great movie!

While some may see this as just another "good coach/bad kids" movie, I was inspired by Samuel Jackson's performance. The makers of this movie couldn't have chosen a better man to portray Ken Carter, who obviously was a real-life hero! There are hundreds and thousands of young men and women out there today who could use this type of tough-love guidance. May we all be inspired to care.

It was wonderful to see what lengths a coach would do to get players academically equipped to deal with and to prepare them for postsecondary education. Most athletes assume it's all about the game and make the grade just to get by. The contract was a very good idea. He gave them a sense of pride in themselves as well as being part of a team.

This is a must see. This was a movie about a coach that cared about the children and not just winning and that's hard to find. He changed those kid's lives.

Okay, so this is another coach movie that takes a bunch of punk kids and turns them into winners. Then the kid’s abuse their newfound glory. All these movies follow this plot; bad kids - good coach - kids win - kids abuse - small tragedy - life lesson. This movie was very predictable but since it was based on a true story it makes you feel good. As a coach myself, It is nice to know that there are coaches in the world that know what is important. I had a hard time believing that Samuel Jackson was a hard butt tuff coach but you get through it. It is not Remember the Titans but it has that same feel. It is worth a watch.
