Wholesome Sports

Rating: 9/10 (21 May 2015)

McFarland, USA was a good film. I was a little hesitant about the subject matter, boys running cross-country, but the story behind it was very warm and endearing. Something you would expect from a Disney film. After the first 10 minutes it started to become somewhat interesting, but as it progressed, and the boys were doing so well and all the family interaction, it starts to grow on you. I like sports movies. They always please and satisfy the competitive nature we grow up with. Yes it is a feel good movie. And if want your children to grow up with some values, let them watch this one. It will make you appreciate what you have so much more, but also instill pride in who you are.
