Film Reviews by hya

An amazing film which charts the thoughts and developing friendship of two completely different people.

Jamie Foxx is truly believeable as the man who has survived much in a world which has not shown him much love or kindness.

Lynn Whitfield delivers as the strong single mother who has achieved much, but still has enough compassion to be able to touch by the expected.

For me this was a great mix of excellent performance, words and theme/content.

Well worth watching, it leaves you thinking differently about life and people.

I loved this true story of how minds and thinking can be changed to impact both adults and teenagers alike, when we take a stand and refuse to be pushed into the world view of how we are suppose to behave.

Samuel is as always excellent as Coach Carter, which fine support from the guys who play the team.

This was a wonderful family afternoon film, or one of those you watch with your girlfriends over wine and popcorn.

Funny in places, there is a touch of real life running through it.

The best films leave us with a smile and the knowledge and continued dependence on hope and this films delivers that in buckets.

Well acted, though some parts of the plot are very predictable.

Excellent telling of a true story.

Russell Crowe shines in the lead role.

Good pace to the flow of the film.

Fun, easy going film.

Queen Latifah shows again that she can be serious yet funny throughout a film.

Throughly enjoyable film.

Debra messinger manages to leave in part her role of Grace behind her as she plays the lead.

Welcome support from a wonderful cast of solid quality actors often seen on the small screen tv dramas in the UK.
