From the Rough

Loved this movie, very entertaining and uplifting. Inspirational and thought provoking. Characters were very believable and I loved message. I would highly recommend this movie. Great family movie. Something for everyone in the family. Music also great. I thought acting was quite good. I loved the fact the movie was based on a true story, it made it more meaningful. A new spin on a sports and diversity and adversity story. I think this is a great movie for teens. Very relatable because of the types of characters who end up on the golf team and how they each need to overcome their individual hardship and ban together as a team.

When I first came across this gem on the Golf Channel, I thought Oh no not another feel good.movie.

It surprised me. Good acting, a thoughtful plot line and a fine bit of golfing.

To bad this doesn't tell the story of the first golf team she had, which was actually all black players, 2 of which were injured football players and one girl. Wondered what actually happened to those first black golfers at the historically black college. The movie starts with one black golfer and 4 foreign players as her founding year.

I really liked this flick! I thought the acting was really good overall.

Especially the Algerian guy Ben Youcef. His journey in the story was very interesting.

He starts off really rude and a jerk and then warms up and becomes the hero.

I've seen this guy on Law and Order and a few other things and I think he did a really wonderful.

The story is very moving and I like what it speaks to. That we all are the same and we all need to come together.

Definitely worth a check out!

I am an alumnae of TSU and I was looking forward to seeing this movie. There was a buzz about it, then nothing. I was so happy to find it on Netflix tonight and couldn't wait to view it. I never heard of Coach Starks even though I attended the school during the late 1990s. I enjoyed the film for what it was, but I thought it would be...more. More epic, more real, more dramatic. I think more time was needed to really develop the story and characters, but the acting was solid. I almost cried when I saw Michael Clark Duncan! Also, I would have loved to see our beautiful campus and some shots of Nashville. Overall, it was a good movie. It just didn't live up to my expectations.
