Disney style long gone - skichick
This is a disney movie in a style long gone in the Disney brand. This is no sickly sweet good vs evil. This is no entrenching of stereotypes.
This is a gritty challenging story based on true events. My kids (9 & 6) had some tough questions about racism, the role of women, role of authority.
The whole family enjoyed this movie. We, as adults and parents, were relieved that the true events were not so sanitized that the lessons learned at the time (and now) still had impact and importance.Good - imagination201
While it is no Remember the titans, this is still a very good movie as far as the theme of racism and good sport spirit goes. The fact that it is based on a true story makes it even more interesting as it is terrible to think that such ways of judging by the skin-color not only existed then, but still exist in some parts of the world.
The actors are excellent and carry the characters' emotions well.Typical Disney Movie! - Vickie
This is a typical Disney movie based on real life events. The underdogs overcome all obstacles to win it all. The only difference in this movie in that the groups are based on race instead of typical nerds/klutz vs. jocks. The interviews by the real players at the end of the dvd and in the special features really gives the viewer a better understanding of how things were at the time. What those players and their coach did was courageous and they deserve every commendation.
