PRIDE (2007)
This movie features Terrence Howard and the late great Bernie Mac. It is a story that was inspired by true events. This does in no terms mean that this is a true story. There were a lot of flaws and inaccuracies in this movie, but overall it was very entertaining. The movie starts out with Howard's character trying to compete in a college swim meet in the year 1964. Due to the segregation issues of this time, a riot breaks out at the meet. Then it flashes to 1974 where Howard's character is trying to land a job as a swim coach at a prestigeous academy. He is denied the position and takes on a job that involves shutting down a recreation center in Philadelphia and deciedes to try to keep the recreation center open by starting a swim team with Bernie Mac's character.
This is an overall enjoyable watch. I give it a rating of aaa. It was a good movie and I would suggest watching it if you are into sports movies or inspirational movies.
