SYNOPSIS: In the tradition of Disney sports movies comes “McFarland, USA” based on a true story of underdogs triumphing over tremendous obstacles. This heartwarming drama follows novice runners who strive to build a cross-country team under Coach Jim White (Kevin Costner) in their predominantly Latino high school. Everyone has a lot to learn about each other, but when Coach realizes the boys’ exceptional running ability, things change. Beyond their talent, it’s the power of family, commitment to each other and work ethic that transform them into champions — helping them achieve their own American dream.
My Thoughts:
We decided to watch this movie on Family movie night, and it turned out to be a great movie. A football coach who lost his job, relocates his family and ends up finding 7 kids who he feels would make a great cross country team. He ends up taking kids who had no hope and helping them to become a great cross country team. This movie was great, it showed how hard work and dedication pay off despite what others say and think. It truly was a great family movie.
