It's not for everyone

Rating: 2/10 (30 December 2005)

'Hoosiers' is a film about a rural basketball team and their coach, and it's one of those feel-good, spiritual films that probably have their target audience in the midwestern states in America. While I can see that some may enjoy the film, I found it difficult to sit through because I do not enjoy watching/following basketball, and it was just a little too flowery and feel-good for my liking. It's the typical underdog sports story where the team and the coach overcome the hurdles then go to win it all. Very touching, but it did nothing for me. Basketball and sports fans will probably love this film, but I am not within that target audience.
