Mc Formula

Rating: 7/10 (25 February 2015)

Here's a feel good sports movie that goes a bit deeper. It's the story of a coach that hits bottom and takes kids from the poorest part of society to new heights.
It the classic formula of the coach learning as much from his students as they learn from him. Based on a true story, the "where they are now" shots makes for a feel good Hollywood ending.
Kevin Costner carries this movie on his back. It's hard to believe the movie gets made without him. The supporting performances are serviceable even though the lead student and top runner looks way too old for high school.
The movie plays well on the big screen but it won't loose too much on a home platform. The movie is suitable for and will be enjoyed by all ages.
