Movie Description
In the tradition of LEAN ON ME and DANGEROUS MINDS comes COACH CARTER, an inspirational drama starring Samuel L. Jackson. Jackson portrays real-life figure Ken Carter, who graduated from California's Richmond High only to return there years later, in 1999, and take over as head coach of the boys' basketball team. Unfortunately, the troubled school he remembered as a teenager is an even more insufferable place in his adulthood. Determined to make a change in his players' lives, Carter makes each young man sign a contract that ensures he will maintain a 2.3 GPA, attend every class, and wear a jacket and tie on game day. Of course, the players reject the contract at first, but when they realize that they don't have any other choice, they give in. And when it appears that their tough-as-nails coach is actually turning them into winners on the court, they embrace their coach's philosophy even further. But when Coach Carter receives the incomprehensibly awful progress reports of his players, he does the unthinkable: he benches the entire team. Directed by Thomas Carter (SAVE THE LAST DANCE), COACH CARTER is a sensitive drama that features an impassioned performance by Jackson, as well as the impressive young cast (most notably Rob Brown, Rick Gonzalez, and Robert Ri'Chard).

    Coach Carter is One of the best Sports Movies ever Made!

    This is on the Movie Channel right now and it is one of those movies that I can never turn off once I start watching it.

    A great cast headlines an incredible cinderella story. This is one of those movies that you can watch over and over again and it will still stir up emotions within.

    Coach Carter was the highest opening weekend of any release from an MTV Film, and for good reason, it's amazing.

    Samuel L. Jackson is amazing as Coach Ken Carter and young stars Rob Brown, Ashanti, Channing Tatum, Robert Ri'chard, and Rick Gonzalez make up a superb supporting cast.

    This is one of my all-time favorite sports film.

    Final Verdict:

    5/5

    Rent or Buy?: Any sports fan must have this movie in their collection. If you have a heart, Coach Carter is for you!
