I actually really enjoyed this movie. The entire concept (a reluctant, down on his luck man coaches inner-city kids and makes a profound impact on their lives) is cliche and the acting isn't the best in the world, but it's enjoyable and even rather touching. I actually cried at one part. There is a lot of cursing which makes it inappropriate for younger kids, but if you can get past that then the movie is very enjoyable. I'd recommend it to everyone.
