Fabulous story, fabulous Film

Rating: 9/10 (23 October 2000)

Remember the Titans, despite some cheesy Disney lines at the outset, is truly an uplifting film. Although it is not technically or thematically special, it is just a great film with a great story. A true feel-good movie, which all of us need sometime. Denzel Washington is also exceptional as the football coach who becomes responsible for uniting a high school football team and its home town despite initial racial tensions. What makes this film a notable one though is the mere fact that the story it depicts is a true one.
