Love this movie.

Awesome Movie

Incredible movie

I enjoyed watching this movie about the coach who locked out his team when they didn’t live up to their terms in a contract. It was a great true story. Good dvd too.

I loved this movie all around. It was a feel good movie about overcoming adversity even though the deck was stacked against you. Samuel L. Jackson played a superb role of a strong black man raising his son in a not so forgiving neighborhood. He took on the father like role to the whole team who were dealing with issues of their own. One of the biggest things I loved was how he got them to see what they were capable of when he had one of the characters read the famous quote: "Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.' - Marianne Williamson Twista Feat Faith Evans song "Hope" set the movie up to be a tear jerkier at the end. One of the best movie I have seen in years.

One of my all time favorites

ON M'A BEAUCOUP PARLE DE CE FILM DEPUIS DES ANNEES ET JE NE L'AVAIS PAS ENCORE VU. MAINTENANT JE COMPRENDS POURQUOI CERTAINS DE MES PROCHES ME SURNOMMAIS "COACH CARTER" ETANT MOI MEME ENTRAINEUR DE BASKET. APRES AVOIR VU CE FILM J'AI JUSTE EU ENVIE DE LEUR PASSER UN SAVON....LOL. CETTE HISTOIRE VRAIE EST MAGNIFIQUE ET C'EST UN TRES BON FILM DE BASKET. LE COMBAT DE CE COACH POUR L'AVENIR DE SES JOUEURS EST TRES COURAGEUX SANS COMPTER LA PRISE DE CONSCIENCE DE CES JEUNES QU'ILS NE SONT PAS FORCEMENT VOUER A L'ECHEC.... MOI JE DIS JUSTE BRAVO! CE FILM EST A VOIR ABSOLUMENT ET LES BONUS AUSSI.... JE N'EN DIS PAS PLUS C'EST A VOUS DE DECOUVRIR!

Bellissimo!!! Se pensiamo che è anche una storia vera... Da vedere. Molto bella anche l'intervista ai protagonisti veri ed agli attori. Carter è una persona eccezionale!!!

awesome good service A++ 5 stars

This motion picture has a great, big, wonderful heart! Lots of grit, too. Coach Carter, whose real life story and those of his players the film recounts, has a vision (and the fortitude to carry it out), of high school basketball that does not sacrifice, in the name of high sports achievement, the academic grades, college/university aspirations, and better lives in adulthood for which his young player players also should be striving after high school is over. Those were realistic goals and reasonable hopes back in 2005, when this film was released. Since then, due to the ongoing (as of 2014 as I write this) collapse of the U.S. economy that set in during 2007-2008, largely due to years of off-shoring American jobs (industrial, office, technical, and much professional work alike) and to the collusion of the cynical financiers of Wall Street and the corrupt U.S. government, such hopes have waned and higher education seems mostly nowadays to leave the young with crushing student debt to pay off without the job prospects that once had been there for graduates to seize hold of. However, this film also, from the educational standpoint, is about staying through high school to graduation with decent marks, and that, at least, would help to prepare American workers for so many of the more menial jobs that are left in the wrecked U.S. economy after the devastations that "Free Trade" policies have inflicted upon the labour market and, also, of the further financial ruin that has set in from 2008 onwards. However, how it was in 2005 is, in so many essential ways, what the world really should be like and what the promise that civilised life, indeed, should hold! In the film, all of the sportsmen, the coach and his young basketball team members alike, who are struggling to live out Coach Carter's work ethic, are in and of Richmond, a "disadvantaged town of mixed black, chicano, and some white population, in Northern California's Bay (Greater San Francisco) area, rather like the Southeast Los Angeles (Bell, Southgate, Watts) area of part of my own childhood, further south in the same state. The music is excellent, too, hot and energetic, as the kids like it, expertly crafted and delivered. Perhaps best of all, for those who love sport, at any rate, is the intense and skillful basketball playing seen. This movie simply has it all!

Excelente pelicula
