ReelViews James Berardinelli Pride is one of those generic inspirational sports movies that has been cobbled together from spare parts left to rust on Hollywood's shelf of clichés and stereotypes. Take a little '70s racism, add the guidance of a strong coach, throw in minor subplots about the players, and stir. | 10 | |
ScreenIt It's nothing great and certainly isn't able to swim laps around the competition, but it mostly works for what it's trying to be, albeit in a predictable, average way. | 10 | |
