Review

i really liked miracle so i figured this one might be worth a shot. it’s got a good, inspiring story, but is poorly acted by most. the coach, especially, comes off as either wooden or overly animated. unlike miracle, the script feels restrained by disney’s no cursing policy. it’s tough to make a film about racism and all its ugliness if you have a self-imposed PG rating policy. that said, the issue was dealt with relatively well. the people outside of the team were a bit simplistically portrayed, but the team members did a good job of expressing their concerns about the various forms/impacts of racism.
