Basketball Movie moves beyond the courtReview created: 02/12/06

I had low expectations for this movie- but I was very pleasantly surprized.
Samuel Jackson plays an inner city coach who must battle not only a history of severely losing records, but players who are subject to gangs, academic failure, and teenage pregnancy and a host of other problems.
His role is teaching the players not only basketball, but the importance of goals and studies. He battles with the principal, the parents, and a history of low expectations by society, the school board, and even the players themselves.
In what could have been a canned "Cinderella Story" the movie takes some surprizing turns. You won't always be able to guess what's next.
A feel good film. (This one's definitely not for watching when kiddos are around -- language and situational violence.)
This film is based on a true story.
