Channing TatumCoach Carter

Classic movie. I'm so glad it was available to purchase.

One of my all time favorites

I liked Samual Jackson in this movie. He is a very good actor who played the role in movie very well. It was a great inspirational story about basketball and life. If you like Samual Jackson then you will like the movie.

I loved this movie all around. It was a feel good movie about overcoming adversity even though the deck was stacked against you. Samuel L. Jackson played a superb role of a strong black man raising his son in a not so forgiving neighborhood. He took on the father like role to the whole team who were dealing with issues of their own. One of the biggest things I loved was how he got them to see what they were capable of when he had one of the characters read the famous quote:"Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.' - Marianne WilliamsonTwista Feat Faith Evans song "Hope" set the movie up to be a tear jerkier at the end. One of the best movie I have seen in years.

I enjoyed watching this movie about the coach who locked out his team when they didn’t live up to their terms in a contract. It was a great true story. Good dvd too.

great movie they dont make movie like this anymore

Every school administrator and school board should be required to watch this film and abide by its precepts. Including the collegiate level...Samuel L. Jackson does a tremendous, tremendous job in this.As a parent and teacher, and citizen, I have been screaming this message for decades!As Educators, what message are we sending these kids when we allow them to graduate high school without even being able to read??? But, they can darned sure throw a football.Look at the "heroes" now - many are nothing more than high-priced criminals.We glorify bad, deviant, and criminal behavior, and we have sold the soul of this country for a bloody buck.At least SOMEBODY, even if only in film, has the guts to make an UNCOMPROMISING, UN-RATIONALIZING, stand against it.I am so pleased to know that this story is based on actual events.That the kids, in the end, made their own right choice not to play in the tournament unless they got their academics in line.HALLELUJAH FOR THIS FILM!!

Really enjoyed this movie. Never give up and always look for the best in people, especially younger people seeking direction. Coach Carter and Samuel L. Jackson really hit the nail on the head in inspiring our young people to give their best and don't always expect to be first but know that they were good enough to be first. Great inspirational movie. Couldn't stop watching until all the way through! Do yourself a favor and watch it. You will also like Lean On Me and Freedom Writers, all with the same type of scenarios.
