  I really enjoyed the movie although it did seem slow in a couple places. It was refreshing to see the Mexican people portrayed as the hard working, family first kind of people they are. As for the real life coach...nice work Blanco

  McFarland was a tribute to the Hispanic experience, which doesn't get much coverage in mainstream cinema. So often the journeys of our neighbors seem like they are occurring in a "far land", when they are not. Even more so, the movie reflected the common values of essentially all families and individuals, especially when the physical and mental confinements are not the "collars of their clothing". The acting was credible. The directing was amiably focused. The cinematography was realistically descriptive. Some might say that the script was a little too "gentle", but the movie was meant to look more at the stars and less at the dark clouds. Speaking of stars, I would give the movie between 4

  Was inspiring !!! The end with the actual documentation of the young men involved was AWESOME! Could not help the tears pouring out. Thanks so much for the tickets was certainly one of those feely, touchy types. Enjoyed it immensely.

  McFarland... I wasn't a huge Kevin Costner fan until a few years ago, so after watching most of his movies, I decided that this one is probably at the top of my list. He seems to come across as a Jerk, but he has a heart. He cares so much for his family's happiness, but he also wants to make a difference with the kids he takes on . I think the storyline, was very well done. He made the character believable. He made you like him, laugh with him, and for me, cry with him. I never heard of this man and his story, but after watching the movie, I went home and googled him. I love the kids and thier families and how they took "Blanco" in and made them feel welcome. How hard

  I really enjoyed this movie. You can't go wrong with Kevin Costner in a sports movie, any kind of sport. It was definitely a reminder to all of us not to judge a book by its cover.
