McFarland, USA is based on the true story of Jim White, a high school coach who, in 1987, taught a cross country team and made them championship contenders.
Review:
I really enjoyed this film a lot more than I thought I would. It's very emotional, heartfelt, well acted and quite comical. I liked Kevin Costner as Jim White. I liked the way the team was portrayed.
For a biographical film that has a bit of comedy, I think the jokes here actually worked. I think the jokes here actually worked. For instance, there is this one scene where Jim and his family eat at this Mexican restaurant and he asks the register if they have any burgers.
I'm not going to spoil anything but the final scene was excellent.
Overall, I thought it was a very good feel good sports drama and quite better than Million Dollar Arm.
In the end, I'll say "McFarland, USA" is by far the most impressive Disney sports biopic to date.
I highly recommend this film. Go see it!
Max Scale:
9/10
