The unfortunate truth of sports movies is that at some level they all seem to be derivative of the Bad News Bears. Bad News Bears or not I still enjoyed Glory Road. The movie tells the story of the 1966 Texas Western basketball team who won the NCAA championship. The story is about more than just a game, it is a story about race in America. You can read a bit more about the story behind the movie on the wikipedia entry on Don Haskins . It’s a pretty good movie, it is predictable, but it told a great story without glossing over all the details. I give it three and a half stars out of five. I’m so glad to not live in the “good old days” America depicted in this movie.
