It's 1971. Cathy Rush is a woman ahead of her time, and she's about to embark on an adventure for the ages. A new era is dawning in the country and in collegiate athletics, where a national champion will be crowned for the first time in women's basketball. In the lead up to this historical season, major universities are preparing their game plans to win that first title. Meanwhile a tiny all-women's Catholic college in Philadelphia has a more modest goal: find a coach before the season begins. Providentially, Cathy Rush is about to find Immaculata College. Recently married, Cathy is dealing with the aftermath of a truncated playing career. While cultural norms would have her staying at home, she's willing to do the hard work necessary to help her new team reach their goals-or perhaps she's just trying to achieve her unfulfilled dreams through them. From the beginning, her challenges are as imposing as the big-school teams Immaculata will face on the court. Cathy learns there is no gymnasium on campus, she receives little support from the school's Mother Superior, and the school is in dire financial straits. To top it off, she may not even have enough players to field a team. While it appears the Macs don't have a prayer, all hope is not lost. With the help of Sister Sunday - a spunky assistant coach - and the support of a booster club of elderly nuns, Coach Rush creates a new game plan that just might bring the team-and the school-together. Will this pioneer buck cultural norms and spur her rag-tag team to unexpected heights? Or will her hard-driving ways create a wedge between the coach and everyone around her? One thing's for certain: there's never been anyone like Cathy Rush at Immaculata.
Leave your thoughts about The Mighty Macs.
| Tolucan TimesTony MedleyHighlighted by Tim Chambers' script and tight directing, terrific acting, and Chuck Cohen's involving cinematography, this is a heartwarming film about fighting the odds and hanging in there. |
| Philadelphia Daily NewsMolly EichelInstead of breaking new ground, "The Mighty Macs" revels in clichés, made apparent by the musical score of swelling strings, forcing unearned emotional resonance that the movie can't organically create. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Clifford...all a bit too nice...but the competition on the court is genuinely fierce and the all around sense of sisterhood is solid. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)It is no accident that "The Mighty Macs" sounds a lot like "The Mighty Ducks." It's basically an adult, female "Ducks." |
| AALBC.comKam WilliamsA touching, tale of female empowerment serving as a worthwhile reminder that girls weren't always encouraged to play sports. |
| Screen It!Jim Judy'The Mighty Macs' might not be the champion of sports dramas, but it's entertaining and easy to watch. (Movie Review for Parents also available) |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohThis distaff basketball tale dribbles away any chance for excitement through a mountainous accumulation of blinding clichés. |
| DeadspinWill LeitchThere's a nice inspirational message for young girls in this movie, and boy does this movie hit it hard. |
| BeliefnetNell MinowThe context and an excellent cast gives this more heft than the typical based-on-a-true-story saga of the underdog team that became national champions. |
| Atlantic City WeeklyLori HoffmanA by-the-numbers underdog sports movie, but as a female athlete who benefited from the national attention that team brought to female athletes, I embrace this feel-good story. |
