so amazing loved every moment of the trailer.

User review rating: 5 February 28, 2015

Every so often a TRUE story comes along that brings out the best in everyone involved. This is an inspiring film showing the realities of Latino minorities lifestyle and the laborious work they need to endure to survive in an American culture that is loathe to recognize their rights to become citizens of a 'free' society. The depiction of the team and their struggle and rise to championships not only lifted them to a higher class and achievement in their lives but also the whole community. Amazing film, great acting and production. Kudos to Costner and Disney for bringing this story to life.

Great movie. My wife and I both loved it . Looks like a "formula" movie but turns out to be much more.

User review rating: 5 February 25, 2015

Excellent story line, kept my attention and even made me cry. Five stars from me. I want to buy this movie.

User review rating: 4 February 24, 2015

As expected, feel good, team rises from very humble circumstance to win in the end. Acting was good.

This is the best Disney film I have seen in a long time. Great story, humour, and fine acting by a bunch of young Latino actors made this film a memorable one.

User review rating: 4 February 13, 2015

I really enjoyed the movie and was surprized that it was quite good. All of the actors were great including Costner. It had a great story line and the fact that it was based on a true story made it even better. I've already recomended it to others.

Fantastic movie !! Kept me on the edge of my seat. I would definitely recommend, great for all ages.

User review rating: 5 February 13, 2015

A great movie I highly recommend it good for the whole family

User review rating: 5 February 13, 2015

What a heartfelt movie. The underlying tones of determination, hard work and faith in the underdog, were beautiful. Excellent performances by Kevin Costner and the cast of Hispanic young people. I especially liked the end of the film where they showed the real men of the film and how their lives were changed because of coach White and the cross country team. Bravo!

User review rating: 4 February 13, 2015

My wife and I both ended up loving this movie. We went in expecting to see another cookie cutter underdog movie and we both got swept away into the story along with a large majority of our fellow moviegoers. I can't remember the last movie I watched where people clapped, cheered and reacted to scenes throughout the story. And the end brought heartfelt spontaneous applause and deservedly so. This little gem had the perfect balance of heart drama and humour and quickly became one of my inspirational favourites. And the reality aspect just added so much more. Simply outstanding!

Excellent movie, would recommend.

User review rating: 0 February 13, 2015

The fact that this is based on a true story does not make it a game-changer in terms of the inspirational, economically-challenged, overcoming-all-odds, ethnic subculture movie genre. It's basically the movie you expect to see from Costner - he owns these movies, and rightly so - he's good at them. I go to see them because of that. It was a good night out and a great story.

Great family movie

User review rating: 5 February 13, 2015

I loved this movie , it was so inspiring and show if people care enough anything can be accomplished. The ending was great to know what had become of them in the future was fantastic. This is a must see family movie

User review rating: 5 February 13, 2015

What an amazing movie!!! I can't remember the last time I was that caught up when watching a movie that I clapped during the movie or laughed and cried at the same time. I was so caught up in the movie that I felt like I had a personal stake in their success. Definitely will see again!!!

When I read the initial information about McFarland, I was not sure if I would like the film. I knew it was a Disney production and as such I knew that the film would adhere to some higher standards. All I knew going into the theatre was that this was a true story that had to do with cross country running. Kevin Costner is the lead and he is well known for portraying sports related figures. It seems to be an area where he is comfortable and it shows in this movie too. His acting was solid and believable. The cast was mostly unknowns in the Western culture. The only other main character was Maria Bello of Coyote Ugly fame. This is what actually made the movie for me. The characters were all

My husband and myself found the movie to be very moving and inspirational. It was nice to get a glimpse into the Hispanic lifestyle. To see how they all came together to help each other and how they accepted Coach "Blanco" and his family. We all have problems but they gave us a glimpse into the hard working lifestyle of the "pickers" and how with dedication, determination and guidance there is always hope. We are all the same despite what nationality we are. Even Kevin Costner himself and his family had issues to overcome. I really enjoyed meeting and learning what the real life people that the movie was about are doing today. I would recommend and see the movie again. Thanks for the ch

McFarland was a wonderful family movie. I wasn't sure if I would enjoy this film but it really got to me. The characters came across as real, with their own flaws. I understand it was based on a true story which made it even more enjoyable - to understand these kids had to overcome such odds. It was an excellent film that both myself and 10 year old son enjoyed and will see again with rest of my family.

very inspirational film

User review rating: 3 February 09, 2015

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

User review rating: 4 February 09, 2015

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

Very enjoyable and inspirational movie

User review rating: 5 February 09, 2015

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 their 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.

It was a lot better than I expected. It was pretty good.
