Chicago Tribune
A true story, feel-good parable and a respectable, uplifting descendent of "To Sir, With Love" and "Lean On Me."
70
Film Threat
Unfortunately, the accompanying story threads tend to bog down the action rather than provide contrast between the games.
70
Variety
Both an inspirational sports movie and an unexpected multi-level urban drama that plays by its own clock.
63
Heartwarming drama.
60
Thanks mainly to his (Jackson) considerable presence, Coach Carter works more effectively than expected.
