Just a great sports movie.

Rating: 10/10 (15 December 2004)

Certainly an excellent sports movie and it may be the best sports movie ever. The actors who played the high school team really could play basketball which gives the movie much credibility for sports fans. Hoosiers tells a simple story that unfolds in an understated way. It has an excellent cast. The characters are, for the most part, very believable. The setting seemed authentic for the fifties period; although the gymnasium was too small and the home basketball court was way too short (the half court line was only a few steps from the foul lines). While the plot was fairly predictable, there were enough twists along the way to keep the viewer interested throughout. Its a feel good movie that's just good entertainment.
