It isn't meant to be a movie that makes us think, or that makes us uneasy in any way. It's meant to make us feel good.

Glory Road doesn't have any of the individual moments that humanized Hoosiers, The Rookie, and Miracle. It's a feel-good sports movie by the numbers.

Glory Road is a rousing and worthy tribute to one of the most important college basketball teams and one of the most important championship games of all time.

Trying to make a sports movie for the entire family is understandable, but it makes a complicated story like Glory Road feel more like Disney than reality.

The team's accomplishments are here diluted into fodder for another of the producer's feel-good man-weepies.

First-time director James Gartner observes all the rituals--the coach busting chops, the team sneaking out to party--but the players are indifferently characterized and the civil rights story has a fake Black History Month feel.

Playing out like Remember The Titans for basketball fans, Glory Road is yet another would-be inspirational true story that follows sports-movie conventions.

An appealing Disney sports movie that underplays its potential, Glory Road is at least a more satisfying basketball saga than last year's Coach Carter.

Why must Hollywood lace every African-American drama with elements of comedy, as if black people find everything comical?

An underdog sports movie by the numbers.
January 13, 2006
Lacking the gritty reality of the 1994 documentary Hoop Dreams, this Jerry Bruckheimer film, directed by newcomer James Gartner, converts a year in the life of a basketball team into a very conventional triumph of the underdogs.
