Sometimes a movie is not technically good, but it is still worth watch anyway. I generally find that sports movies fall into that category.

The script and the direction in this film left a lot to be desired, and the actions was not always first rate - largely, I believe, because of the script and direction, but I still felt inspired after watching the film and was pleased at the time spent.

I do like Terrence Howard, and thought him great in both Hustle & Flow and Crash. I wish he has better dialog and direction here, but he did the best he could with what he had to work with and gave us an enjoyable performance.

I am not a big fan of Bernie Mac, but did enjoy his performances in Mr. 3000 and Bad Santa. He was superb here and i thought he gave the best performance of his career.

Kimberly Elise (The Great Debaters, John Q) was also enjoyable, and Tom Arnold was a real jerk.

It will touch your heart.

Jim Ellis: My life is way too short for me to spend my time around people who don't care about nothin'.

Goofs

Swimmers did not use goggles in swim meets (not in Philly anyway) in 1974. They were used in practice. Googles in meets started later. Also swimmers did not use the style of start (grabbing the block and throwing your arms forward) in 1974. This also started much much later. I was a swimmer in Philly in the late 60's till about 1977.
