Typical
Although this was a good movie, movies like this, remember the titans, and miracle all had pretty much the same outline. This was good, but in no way original.

A good movie, though predictable. Pure Disney!
Glory Road is a very fun, thoughtful, and well-acted movie.It has some loose ends, and the relationship between Don Haskins and his wife is very hard to follow. From watching this movie, I could tell a lot of stuff got cut. There were uneven spots, characters that never followed through, and stuff that didn't really make sense. Not too much, but definetly a noticable amount. Still touching, even though everybody in the theater knew that the Good Guys were going to win! Two pretty disturbing parts. One is when a player gets beat up in a bathroom. The other is when the team's hotel is vandalized, and blood is dripping from the walls, spelling the "n" word and other horrible, racist things. So just be aware, its a bit scary. Its definetly ok for 11 year-olds though, and I give it 4 stars!

Good message!
This movie was a great springboard for a discussion about racism with my 7 year old, although I would not have wanted him to watch it without being present to help him understand it. The racism puzzled him; I'm not sure he truly grasps it yet. He enjoyed the game scenes and I secretly went, "Yes!" a few times myself, even though I don't particularly care for basketball. Yeah, we knew how it would end, but we enjoyed the ride, and it made an excellent point in a way that holds kids' attention.

Great compelling movie but because of strong racial issues i dont suggest this movie for kids under 11. Way to hardcore for 8,9,+10 year olds.

Great Movie
Very inspirational good movie. Has some racial slurs but not a big issue. I recommend it for sports lovers and even those not into sports.

Great Movie!
Hello people! This movie is a completely true story. The Minors were the first black NCAA basketball team to win a championship. It wasn't Disney Magic at all. It was a great and true story.

GREAT MOVIE WITH AWESOME MESSAGE
This movie was inspiring, touching, beautiful and entertaining... and I don't like basketball. So, the beginning was a little cheesier than the story could have been (made it okay for kids) but he realities of racism were shown later. This movie teaches a great moral about believing in yourself no matter what, and knowing that racism is just plain wrong. Excellent movie for anyone.

Good life-changing movie.
This is a great and a very inspirational true story. It is about a white coach at a small school in El Paso called Texas Western. The coach had such a small recruiting budget that he couldn't get any really good white players, so the coach decides to recruit African-American players. Texas Western starts out good, but can the increasing bigotry of other fans stop them? In this movie the players drink some at bars so I think it should be for kids 10 years and older. This is a great movie with a good message.

Awesome Movie!
I for one, was allowed to see this movie when I was 8. Although there were scary scenes, I loved it. For me, this movie was though provocking, because I had witnessed racial controversy before, so I was prepared. My parents also explained what the movie was about, so I didn't watch it without having a full understanding of what was going on. There is humour, as well as the importance that all men are created equal.
