Coach Carter (2005)
7/10
Good movie, but...
13 January 2005
Samuel L. Jackson is one of my favorite actors and I absolutely respect him and he was excellent. However, the storyline drifted several times. The movie is called "Coach Carter" not "Some black man who doesn't want his girlfriend to have a baby." That's all side crap that we don't need to know. I came to watch a movie about basketball and see Mr. Jackson kick some ass, not see some 25yo men play 18yo's in another version of Dawson's Creek, also known as, Adults who pretend to play Teens.

Overall, the movie was good. I loved Mr. Jackson, he was excellent. At one point I almost expected to hear, "I don't remember asking you a god damn thing... sirs."

It's another one of those, because your black you deserve better type movies.

Sameul L. Jackson's performance was very well done, I give him a 7.5 of 10. The movie itself I give 3 of 5 rating.

Be sure to bring your disrespecting teenage son or daughter when you see it so you can give them a lecture after the movie about staying in school and learning to respect adults.
