We bought this movie as it appeared to be very inspirational and energetic, and offered a great acting cast, including Samuel L. Jackson and the kid from "Step Up". Overall, it is an EXCELLENT film!!! A very inspirational movie that shows how true commitment, dedication, and hard work can lead to great rewards! The positive influence and work of Carters extensive conditioning/training happened much sooner than we would have preferred. It happened soon after the movie begin(within the first 20 minutes or so), and we would have preferred to see the results more towards the middle of the movie. The movie is over two-hours long, and will keep your attention all the way through. RENT or BUY? Definitely BUY IT!! Our Rating: 10/10 Based on a True Story.
I had low expectations for this movie- but I was very pleasantly surprized. Samuel Jackson plays an inner city coach who must battle not only a history of severely losing records, but players who are subject to gangs, academic failure, and teenage pregnancy and a host of other problems. His role is teaching the players not only basketball, but the importance of goals and studies. He battles with the principal, the parents, and a history of low expectations by society, the school board, and even the players themselves. In what could have been a canned "Cinderella Story" the movie takes some surprizing turns. You won't always be able to guess what's next. A feel good film. (This one's definitely not for watching when kiddos are around -- language and situational violence.) This film is based on a true story.Read full review
This is one of my all-time favorite sports film. 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. 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! IF YOU FIND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE. Thank you
Before reading my review of 'Coach Cater' - let me preface by saying that I'm a sucker for any sports movie. Rocky IV is my favorite movie of all time. I loved Remember the Titans, Million Dollar Baby, Raging Bull, etc. In typical sports drama fashion, Coach Cater is the story of a coach who challenges his lost players to be betters athletes, sportsmen and people. Samuel L Jackson plays Coach Carter - the provocative and controversial coach who challenges his inner-city basketball team to dedicate themselves to his philosophy, their game, and their schoolwork. In the meantime, Carter is challenging the school-district, his family, and himself to assess their values and beliefs. Putting himself and his family on the line to advance the futures of his players, Carter asks the district, the school, and the players to do the same... and over time, the majority convert. Samuel Jackson does a fine job as the passionate, hard-headed basketball coach and former player. The players and surrounding actors do a similarly fine job portraying their respective characters. The most satisfying moment of the movie comes at the end when we learn what happened to the real-life players the actors portrayed... proving that the movie is not some far-fetched reenactment.

This is a great movie not only about a coach but a strong motivator for these young men. The changes that young men will face growing up. The coach teaches them not only about basketball but the stero type young men faces within their lives. He has motivated himself because he knows if these kids don't make a change, they will either end up in prison, or dead. I highly recommend this great movie to own.
