Coach Carter

Based on a true story, a demanding high school basketball coach takes charge of a struggling team and insists that academic responsibility come before playing.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like heartfelt, motivational sports dramas such as Remember the Titans or Rudy; Not for you if predictable underdog stories and explicit life lessons wear you out.
