Coach Carter Reviews |
“Coach Carter” is a moralistic movie in the spirit of an after-school special, falling somewhere between inspirational sermon and cautionary tale. But each time it risks devolving into the routine, preachy clichés of so many other feel-good spectacles, it finds ways to redeem itself and to be relevant to a society and a culture that is too often whitewashed in mainstream cinema.

For one thing it's too long, largely because several of the games (and we see way too many of them) have slow-motion sequences that go on for ages. Similarly, there are at least three scenes where Jackson delivers a speech and then someone yells, "That'sBULLSHIT!" and storms off the court, so the film does start to feel repetitive at times...film has some worthwhile things to say about the value of education and is definitely worth seeing for Jackson's performance.

I'll give "Coach Carter" this: It's so hell-bent on being PG-13 suitable for high-school-age audiences, who should see it, that it omits the vulgar language that as students they would find inescapable in school and in social situations. [read review]
For better or for worse, Coach Carter is a typical sports movie [read review]
