I rented it the other day and it was pretty good. If you havn't seen Coach Carter yet it's a better movie, but yeah GLory Road is a good movie.
I rented it and saw it last night and thought it was awesome. There is the sickest play I have ever seen in a movie or real life in it. I would rent it if I were you.

But I just finished watching Glory Road and I must say it was a great movie. I recommend it to anyone. Not only is it about basketball, but it is a great story and even has some humor in it.
I liked it a lot - thats funny cause I just got it yesterday too. - I still prefer coach carter over it though. Still an excellent movie.
wow--lol it looks like everyone is renting that movie cuz i rented it today haha and yea it was alright,the movie goes by fast tho like everything thats goin on goes fast,but the movie was pretty good and had a good message to it,and yes coach carter was better
This review of it on Rotten Tomatoes is funny.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>"If you have not already seen Remember the Titans or Miracle or The Rookie or Hoosiers or Coach Carter or Rudy or The Bad News Bears or The Mighty Ducks then perhaps you will love Glory Road."-- Eric D.

Glory Road is just like any other lame sports movie, and it screws up the facts. El-Paso had black players before that coach got there although the movie gives you the impression that he introduced black players to the university and they portray the Kansas coach as a racist when by many accounts he was not racist at all. Another complete lie is that he just loaded the bus full of black kids and won a title in his first year, he won a title in his FIFTH YEAR when having some black kids his first four years but not enough to start 5.The movie is Disney crap where they lie and mislead you about what really happened.
Who cares? ^I loved the movie, it was by far my favorite basketball movie, even better than Coach Carter, in my opinion. It should have been PG-13 though, they used the N word many times. There was also blood and violence, but whatever.

Maybe people like basketball movies? I liked watching the 6th Man and Coach Carter. Also Remember the Titans, Mighty Ducks and others. I don't know why people on a basketball board would like to watch a basketball movie, that's really surprising huh?And really who cares if they got some things wrong. It's a movie not a documentary.

It's just like every basketball movie ever made...</div>Its not like every other one. The coach went out and got players, not just come to coach and turn them into champions. And it showed how the team overcame racisism to win a championship.
Thats what happens in every basketball movie, the team overcomes something and they win and the coaches say all the same things to get the team back on his side...blah.
