Full Plot Details

In 1999, Ken Carter accepts the job of basketball coach for his old high school in a poor area of Richmond, CA. As much dismayed by the poor attitudes of his players as well as their dismal play performance, Carter sets about to change both. He imposes a strict regime typified in written contracts that demand respectful behavior, a dress code and good grades for players. Any initial resistance is soon dispelled as the team under Carter's tutelage becomes a undefeated competitor. However, when the overconfident team's behavior begins to stray with too many doing poorly in class, Carter takes immediate action. To the outrage of the team, the school and the community, Carter cancels all team activities and locks the court until the team shows acceptable academic improvement. In the ensuing debate, Carter fights to keep his methods, determined to show the boys that they need good values for their futures and eventually finds he has affected them more profoundly than he ever expected.

Movie Reviews

Cinema em Cena - 10/10 by Pablo VillaçaFormulaico, é verdade, mas inteligente o bastante para utilizar os clichês a seu favor, sem se esquecer de incluir bons diálogos e uma mensagem relevante.
WaffleMovies.com - 9/10 by Willie Wafflevery good film with the kind of message people need to hear more often, especially teens and spoiled athletes (maybe Randy Moss and Shaun Alexander could see the movie).
Atlanta Journal-Constitution - 9/10 by Bob TownsendThank goodness then for go-to guy Jackson. He takes what could have been a cardboard cliche role and puts flesh on it with his flamboyant intelligence.
Denver Rocky Mountain News - 9/10 by Robert DenersteinNo arguing with the message: The movie's eager to tell its audience (especially young viewers) that there's life beyond a basketball court, and they ought to prepare for it.
Reno Gazette-Journal - 9/10 by Forrest HartmanThe cast does its job, but the overly familiar screenplay is a problem.
Boulder Weekly - 8/10 by Thomas DelapaFor those in need of an uplifting story in our dumbed-down times, Coach Carter is a slam dunk.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 8/10 by Carrie RickeyIt's fair to say that Coach Carter is more an education film than it is a sports movie.
EricDSnider.com - 8/10 by Eric D. SniderA mealy conglomeration of high-school-sports movies, teacher-who-motivates-students movies, and inner-city-kids-have-a-tough-life movies.
Reel.com - 8/10 by Timothy KnightAn earnest inspirational drama that mostly transcends its formulaic trappings.
Film4 - 8/10 by Leigh SingerA worthy addition to familiar triumph-of-the-underdog stories.
