Back in the day it was called “Hoosiers,” a film that became a beloved classic.
“Hoosiers” fans have nothing to fear from this one.
Others followed, including such fine movies as Hoosiers (1986) and Remember the Titans (2000); the list goes on and on.
The new movie may seem like “Hoosiers” (1986), but it’s nowhere near as pushy with the rah-rah-ness.
For all underdog sports team movies, from Hoosiers (1986) to Remember the Titans (2000), from The Bad News Bears (1976) to The Mighty Ducks (1992), uses it.
Like Gene Hackman’s Coach Dale in “Hoosiers,” Jim White is a flawed man with a passion.
