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