uninspired, and in the same neighborhood as unnecessary

Rating: 2/10 (15 January 2005)

This film is just another entirely ponderous exercise in star power fizzling and prestige film-making gone pretentious. I didn't care for this movie in the least. If this crud makes $1 over its budget, The studio would be wise to declare victory, round up all available copies, store them deep within the nuclear waste repository under Yucca Mountain, and then never make another movie like it again. Coach Carter is a prime example of what happens when there's too little source material for a movie screenplay. The production as a whole is several notches below uninspired, and in the same neighborhood as unnecessary. Don't waste your time with this one.
