The Heart of the Game (DVD, 2007)

It had more adult content than I had expected. I did not expect the life drama of child sexual abuse and teenage pregnancy. I watched with my 13 year old daughter and 10 year old son. It would have been good to know before hand that thoese topics were included. It was good, just more information that expected. I had hoped for a good, high school girls, basketball movie.

This is a great story about girl's basketball and the passion to be more than ordinary in a difficult environment. It is a must see for every girl's basketball coach, every parent and player.

Never received movie. I waited forever to receive movie and it never arrived. I am very disappointed with the seller. I did purchase movie from other seller and it was too documentary. I wasn't expecting this. I wanted more drama.

I saw previews of the film but did not realize it was a documentary. Not bad, if a person wants to be interrupted while watching.

This film goes courtside to present a true-life passionate and inspirational documentary of the Roosevelt Roughriders girls' basketball team during six turbulent seasons.

Bill Resler, a former tax professor now turned hard-driving unorthodox coach, is spotlighted in his attempts to turn his team around. The star of the team is an inner-city tough girl whose battles off the court threatens her eligibility to play. The rest of the team is full of drive, toughness, and the unabridged desire to make history.

This is an exciting film that will grab and retain your interest if you like drama, sports, or just plain old good acting. I rated the film as "good" but it verged upon excellence for me. See it for your self and draw your own conclusions, but one thing is sure...you will remember this film and think of it often.
