Forget this trite borefest

Rating: 2/10 (1 August 2001)

"Remember the Titans" is a terrible movie. Period. If you are ten years old and have only seen cartoons before, it might hold your interest. I really wanted to like it, because it is based on a real story and involves serious themes (overcoming adversity, racial prejudice). The script would not let me enjoy it, with one ridiculous cliche after another. Also, I played high school football, and the idea that a guy as out of shape as Ethan Suplee would even survive a practice, let alone play, is insulting. Rent "Lucas" instead.
