Kinda corny, but effective

Rating: 7/10 (31 May 2001)

This reminded me of 'Hoosiers' somewhat. I will say that I was struck by the portrayal of racism and heroic attempts to overcome it. The movie is formulaic - which might have been avoided if the creators had avoided over-dramatizing (Gary's girlfriend shaking the black kid's hand during the final game - whatever) what was already a remarkable tale.
