Summary: Bad News Bears Meets Rudy
Review: I think someone forgot to include reality in this movie. It's like an afterschool special. I understand that there are different movies for inspirational reasons, i.e. Rudy, Lucas, and The Mask, but Disney does not need to be in charge of making a movie based on real events. I know that just because a movie is not made by Disney does not mean it is totally realistic, but I do think that people used cuss words a little bit more than they did in Alexandria "Disneyworld." This movie is good for about an 9-12 year old. Any older and they will understand that this is fluff and not take it seriously. As for the adults who view this movie and like it, I have a little advice: watch Saving Private Ryan and get a dose of reality.

Summary: Cheese can be good!
Review: This movie has a great story that we've all have seen before. Someone comes to a school and gets the kids to be nice and play together. It's is a feel good movie and does tug on the heart strings. Also Denzel Washington is in it, you really can't go wrong with that.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pretty darn good
Review: I am not always a huge fan of inspirational feelgood movies. Many of them have a fake quality about them. An ideal world that isn't like ours so it is difficult to take the messege fro mit.
But that isn't the case with this film. Although there is a big race messege in the film, it is really about what it takes to get people of different backgrounds, colours or beliefs to get along and work as a team.
It is a good movie all round, including pace, plot, emotion and characters. Well worth it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Attitude Reflects Leadership
Review: Great "feel-good" flick with a powerful message. Everybody ought to watch this film. The scene at Gettysburg is classic. (Though you can see fall colors among the leaves which wouldn't be there during the time of a summer football camp.)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: DISNEY
Review:


REMEMBER THE TITANS

Denzel Washington, Will Patton, Donald Faison, Nicole Ari Parker, 2000


Synopsis

Based on a true story of a Black football coach who takes a job at a high school in 1971 in Virginia. He (working with a coaching staff and team that is half white, half black) transforms the existing mistrust and racial tension into a triumphant victorious season, leading the team to the state championship.


My Review

It's a Disney movie folks. So expect the corny and cliché things that come with it. Good story, but there are better movies with similar stories (eg Hoosiers). If you get the DVD, you can see interviews with the actual two coaches and players that this film is based on. Yes they are still alive!



Rating: 4 stars
Summary: astronomically aclaimed
Review: This is a very long fetched movie, but it makes you feel good to believe that it really could have happened. It deals more with teamwork then blacks and whites. it does a good job of looking passed this fact and finding the best man for the job. Many family issues are also brought up in this film which can still be considered to happen in a time like today. If youve never seen this movie id highly recomend that you rent it if you are into football fairy tales.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ONE OF MY FAVORITE FILMS!
Review: I am not a football fan, but if there were reasons to watch this film were this: it had a great theme, it was quite critically acclaimed and for Denzel Washington and Will Patton and for Jerry Bruckheimer, and it was a great film, great acting, great plot, also is one great feel good film, you will just want to watch over and over again, the DVD is great, it was great to disney to put a DTS track, it sounds a lot more powerful and stronger than the Dolby track, this is a highly recommended film!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Movie
Review: Personally i think this would have to be Denzel Washington's biggest role ever!
One of the most uplifting movies you'll ever watch.
A Must see even if u don't like american footy. :-)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Definatly Disney!
Review: This movie however definatly a Disney football movie, where the good guy always wins, based on a true story, I thought Disney did a phenomenol job pulling this movie off. It really goes in deep showing the diversity that was set in back then, tying in all angles from coaching, to players, to families, to children, to school boards, to communities. I thought parts of the movie were a little unreal yes, but overall; like the fact that a football team when it comes down to championship can pull a whole town together! My mother who hates history movies and hates sports movies, loved Remember the Titans, I had to force her to watch it, but afterward she thanked me and has even watched it again and again! Even if your not a huge fan of Disney (poor unfortunate soul that you would be) you will love to watch this movie if you are the football fan or not the football fan at heart! And let the spirit and magic of Disney brighten up your day!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What a Movie!
Review: I have this movie on DVD and it is AWESOME!! I think that everyone should see this movie because there is a powerful message behind it... how people can get along. The football team really brought the Virginian city together. There's also the message of working together and hard brings rewards.

The bonus features on the DVD are great! There's a behind-the-scennes look and interview with the two real coaches.

I promise you won't be disappointed!!
