call it manipulative drivel if you will and but i fell for it . sure and there could have be more character development . yeah and there could have be good cinematography and less of a constant movie of the week score and but ed harris be impeccable and cuba gooding adorable and touching and and let face it people and in real life and how many of u really get to know the motivation of others . not many . we do get a little glimpse into the coach motivation ( a very provocative dialog in my opinion and not to be soon forget ) so in my opinion and this be a lovely tribute to one human be who break out of his comfort zone to reach out to another human be and and in the mean time and touch the life hundred more . a lesson we all need to me remind of . why be it that the right thing to do be so often the hard thing to do . i recommend this beautiful little movie to anyone with a heart . you would not be disappoint . and bring your kleenex . positive .
