good movie.

Rating: 6/10 (21 January 2005)

I give this a 6 out of 10 stars.
It is a good movie but nothing outstanding. The story is based on a true event where a California high school basketball coach cancels practice and games due to the team's academic performance.
Samuel Jackson plays a reluctant-just-hired basketball coach of a high school that is in an inner city area where crime and poverty is the norm. He makes them care about their academic as well as their basketball performance. Through this process, the students learn about team work and personal accountability.
If you have seen the movie "Lean on Me," then this is that except a light version.
