Satisfied

Rating: 7/10 (10 June 2005)

I went into this expecting a typical sports drama. A group of troubled kids are driven crazy by the new high school coach, initially they resist but grow to the occasion and turn from underdogs into winners. With my expectations in mind, I have to say I'm totally satisfied. The movie delivers the drama, the storyline pretty well, we all feel for the characters. Most importantly it delivers a message, a few actually: education is a number one priority in every society, lead by example, rise above the odds, never give up and so on. It is predictable though and full of cliché situations. But that didn't ruin the feel you get after watching this movie for me. I definitely recommend it to anyone without high expectations, and seeking for a good sports movie.
