4.0 out of 5 stars Based on a true story, January 4, 2008

This review is from: Believe In Me (DVD)

A young man shows up at a small-town Oklahoma high school, expecting to coach the boys' basketball team. Instead, he is informed that he will be coaching the girls' team. The girls' team has never done well in this town, but the new coach decides that he is going to treat them as if they are boys. That plan comes under some fire from his wife, but eventually the coach gets it right and the girls begin to win some games. This is an inspiring story of a man who thinks that girls deserve the same opportunities to play sports and to be successful at it as boys do. Unfortunately, not everyone in the small Oklahoma town agrees with him, but that just makes the story more interesting. This is an enjoyable and inspiring movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solidly grounded, September 8, 2007

This movie is solidly grounded in the story of a real coach and a real team. At the end of the movie, the actual person who inspired the film is shown being showered with the devotion of his players decades after they were on the basketball court together. Donovan, Mathis, and the young women who play ball are entertaining as well as in touch with the heart of this true story. Well-worth the purchase price.

What a shame that this movie did not get the advertizing that it deserved. This is a movie that I want to own and recommend to anyone of any age. I particularly liked watching the extras on the DVD which gets into the real people that are depicted in the movie.
