quite disappointed

Rating: 5/10 (23 January 2006)

The movie was way too similar to Remember the Titans and they're portrayal of coach Rupp was disturbing. I agree with one of the previous posts that they changed a lot just to make the movie more appealing. The movie made it seem as if black players were a whole new thing when coach Haskins introduced this team when in reality there were many black players. But i digress since these faults were already discussed in another post.
Had Remember the Titans not been released, i may rate this movie higher, and since some of the same people worked on the two films i find it even more surprising that the two were THAT similar. Some of the acting was a little off as well (some parts just seemed like a home movie with amateur actors). Some of the team scenes were funny at times though giving a little plus to the movie.
So, if you really enjoy movies like Coach Carter and Remember the Titans, and don't mind watching the same movie with a different sport and different actors then maybe this movie would be better for you than it was for me but i have a hard time giving it a good rating.
