Coach Carter
This is not a sneak preview review. This movie has already released.
"Coach Carter" is to high school basketball and Richmond, California as "Friday Night Lights" is to high school football and Odessa, Texas. Both films are based on true stories about a coach and his influence on a team of boys who rise to the occasion. This one got national attention. Samuel L. Jackson gives a powerful performance as the coach who puts academics above athletics. Although some scenes are cheesy and predictable, the message here is positive and inspirational.
Alien gives it 3 "hoop" stars out of 4.
