• This is supposed to be about setting high standards, yet it's full of fudged ultimatums; in the end I couldn't be sure whether its morality was complex or just confused.
• Samuel L. Jackson shouts, yells, bellows, and screams his way through the fact-inspired film
• Although this is an inspirational genre pic that pushes all the requisite buttons throughout, you can(TM)t help but feel that rather than benching the team, director Thomas Carter should have benched a few of those ham-fisted sporting clich (C)s instead.
• Saved by bursts of energy and inventiveness.
• Carter gives every sports-drama cliche a chance to play. No bad idea is benched.
• Too vicious to speak to bleeding-heart liberals, too pro-academia to speak to No Child Left Behind advocates, and too preachy to speak to youths.
• One of those highly effective conventional pictures that remind us that conventionality isn't always a bad thing.
• The appeal lies in the genre's mixed marriage of liberal sensibilities to conservative values, a happy American union that simultaneously acknowledges the fact of social injustice while insisting on the need for individual responsibility.
• The basketball footage is often thrilling, the camera whooshing through the action like a darting point guard.
• No one will be surprised to learn that Jackson's Coach Carter is a shining slab of steel-rod charisma.
• Must decency be dull?
• Features bursts of humor and electrifying energy offset by speechifying and a dud of a subplot.
• Jackson plays the coach with wit and authority. His imposing presence ensures that he won't have to take much guff, even from the toughest punk on the team.
• The movie may consist of formulaic elements, but it excels on the strength of its cast and the sincerity of its message.
• The inspirational tale becomes just another by-the-numbers, clich-ridden sports film.

  By the time you leave, Jackson will have you believing that his Coach Carter is a true original.
• It's not only a sports movie with the usual big games and important shots, but also a coach movie, with inspiring locker room speeches and difficult moral decisions.
• The kind of boot-strap-pulling, tear-duct-tickling, I-am-Spartacus-crowing movie-on-a-mission that might rankle more cynical movie goers but sets hearts aflutter for most everyone else.
• In this film, basketball is not a metaphor; it's a hard-played game that requires skill, conditioning, intelligence and effective teamwork.
• While there's no denying its positive message, there's also no denying that it offers absolutely nothing fresh or innovative.
