With one of Kevin Costner's best performances as a cross-country coach, this docudrama turns into an inspiring sports film.

McFarland is an inspiring true sports story that takes place in a very poor rural California community. In 1987, a teacher. Jim White (played by Kevin Costner) settles in with his wife (Maria Bello) and two daughters in McFarland,…

This is one of the most heart warming movies I have seen in a long time. I simply LOVE the story and the acting. The director,Niki Caro, brought to light a story about real life, with real people, poor, hard working and with extraordinary…

An excellent movie that provided us with some very good entertainment. What made it so special was to learn that this was a real story and it showed how one coach was able to change and make such a wonderful impact so many lives,…

What could have been an amazing movie was drug down by poor music (that didn't fit the scene), a sluggish pace, and countless missed opportunities for those stand-up-and-cheer moments. Mostly familiar, retread HS sports movie material,…

I hadn't heard much about this movie, and overall I was impressed. It's definitely an inspiring story. My only issue is that it has an agonizingly slow build up. Definitely worth a watch though!

It didn't feel like a Disney film because the long bumpy road to the championship or that the coach admitted he make mistakes. Loved the scene on tough ex-football coach laid low by picking fruits & vegetables for few hours. The ending…

Kinney has no new materiel in this one (just like the last 5) very repetitive and annoying. :(

Great message, however, Disney makes life seem like that REM song, Shiny Happy People Holding Hands. A tad irksome 😃😃😃

True stories make the best movies. Good depiction of pickers' lives. But casting two chubby actors as cross-country runners? C'mon. The real-life characters looked pretty skinny in the archival photo at the end.

A good Disney movie. A little saccharine at times but at least there was some attempt to inform the viewer about life as a migrant picker. One the better movies Kevin Costner has done in a while. See this with your kids.

Great movie, seen with interest especially with 'tweens'. Great perspective of determination and spirit.

No surprises at all, but it's well-acted and absorbing enough.
