A fantastic movie, even if a bit cliché.

Rating: Null/10 (29 January 2005)

Coach Carter was one of the best sports movies I have ever seen. The idea of a group of at-risk kids who are brought together by one person and eventually triumph over all odds is a bit overused, yet this movie accomplishes the story in a fantastic way. You find yourself truly caring about the team, hoping that they will eventually accomplish their mutual goals. I never really become emotional during a movie, yet at the climax of action, I found myself on the edge of tears, if not jumping out of my seat and cheering. The film is brought together in a truly effective way, and overall, the movie is among the best sports movies in recent memory.
