Spectacular Cast and Great Story!Review created: 12/27/06(updated 03/02/07)

Coach Carter features a Spectacular Cast and Great Story and is highly inspiring!
This is on the Movie Channel right now and it is one of those movies that I can never turn off once I start watching it.
A great cast headlines an incredible cinderella story. This is one of those movies that you can watch over and over again and it will still stir up emotions within.
Coach Carter was the highest opening weekend of any release from an MTV Film, and for good reason, it's amazing.
Samuel L. Jackson is amazing as Coach Ken Carter and young stars Rob Brown, Ashanti, Channing Tatum, Robert Ri'chard, and Rick Gonzalez make up a superb supporting cast.
This is one of my all-time favorite sports film.
Final Verdict:
5/5
Rent or Buy?: Any sports fan must have this movie in their collection. If you have a heart, Coach Carter is for you!

It usually takes me a while to watch a movie like Coach Carter but after hearing it grossed $23.6 million last weekend at the box office, I knew it was time for me to check it out. First there was Morgan Freeman, who delivered a riveting, Oscar-worthy performance as the pioneering principle Joe Clark in the theatrical classic, Lean on Me. Then there was Denzel Washington who followed that up with equal theatrical fervor and charisma, tackling a bias community s antiquated beliefs in the blockbuster film Remember the Titans. And now, 2005 we have compelling actor Samuel L. Jackson complete the.

More often than not, true to life stories can bring a real sense of drama to the big screen. With Coach Carter, we have one such story that makes itself into quite a good film. MTV has really taken on a good script here, and made it into a very likable film about high school basketball. In this case, we are talking about Richmond, California, which is in need of a new basketball coach. The current one has decided that he wants to hang up his high-tops, after a few seasons that have been very rough on him. The team has had a record of 4 wins and 22 losses the previous year, and the players are.

Sports Movies are among my favorite types of films and they are often even better and more like real- life when they are based on a true story. Hollywood has produced some gems in the sport film genre but it has also created some sports movies that were flawed in some essential way. One movie that falls somewhere in the middle of these two extremes is Coach Carter, a movie based on the true- life coaching story of Ken Carter. Movie Facts: Rating: PG-13 Director: Thomas Carter Screenplay/Writing Credits: Mark Schwahn, John Gatins Theatrical Release Date: January 14, 2005 Movie Length: 136...

Crack the whip. Kick butt. Ride herd. If you like it when a new sheriff rides into town with these kinds of sensibilities, you may enjoy watching Coach Carter. This film is largely based on the real-life circumstances of a 1990s high school basketball team in Richmond, CA. That team was coached by Ken Carter, who won accolades for turning around a losing basketball program in a struggling, gritty city using no-nonsense methods. Samuel L. Jackson portrays Coach Ken Carter, and he showcases Carter's efforts to breathe new life into the team, the high school, and the entire community. In the...

Coach Carter is based on a true story like Dangerous Minds, where a teacher goes out of her/his way to inspire her students to achieve in cul-de-sac ghettos where kids just end up nowhere in life. In Richmond, high school kids are growing up in an environment where they are taught they can make nothing of themselves, and dealing drugs and living the gangster life is the only way they know how to succeed. The story revolves around, Coach Carter (Samuel L. Jackson) a sporting goods store owner who decides that he wants to give back to his community and joins up with Richmond high school to...
