Good movie with believable characters

Rating: 7/10 (28 January 2006)

I think that Coach Carter was a good movie for Samuel L. Most of the time he plays the real heavy and it was nice to see him take interest in these 'Richmen' that he was teaching and coaching. My husband thought and I agree that the Coach also learned something from his players. I didn't like the one side story, the girl and her boy friend. But I did like the way it ended positively. The most compelling story was of course Cruz. The actor who played this role was very good. I was glad his story also ended positively. Though the movie was mostly predictable I still enjoyed watching the characters and the basketball games. Nice movie for young black kids to see.
