Title: MY GRADE: B.
Review: Based on a true story. The tale is predictable but emotionally engaging enough if you're in the mood for it. The tale centers on a female coach in the 1970s who takes a team of college girls and turns them into basketball pros. At the same time the Catholic college is having financial problems of its own. The neglected husband who at first resents his wife never being around is bland and overdone in the movies but that's another story.At the end you get some black and white clips of what the coach and the college girls went on to do. Interesting that several of them were inspired to become coaches for female teams. There's a very strong working class Catholic setting in this movie so be okay with that or you won't enjoy the film too much. STORY/PLOTTING: B to B plus; CHARACTERS/DIALOGUE: B; THEMES: B minus to B; WHEN WATCHED: mid March 2012; OVERALL GRADE: B.
