Product Description
In the tradition of Disney sports movies comes MCFARLAND, USA, based on the inspiring true story of underdogs triumphing over tremendous obstacles. This heartwarming drama follows novice runners who strive to build a cross-country team under Coach Jim White (Kevin Costner) in their predominantly Latino high school. Everyone has a lot to learn about each other, but when Coach realizes the boys' exceptional running ability, things change. Beyond their talent, it's the power of family, commitment to each other and work ethic that transform them into champions -- helping them achieve their own American dream.

Favorite of the Disney Sports films is high praise indeed considering how great some of them have been in recent years. "From Remember The Titans" to "Miracle", Disney has put out some outstanding films in the trappings of Sports stories. So when I say that this truly is one of, if not THE best...yeah you need to see it. The Greatest Game Ever Played was the best golf movie I've ever seen. And this film actually does the same for Running in my book (Sorry "Chariots of Fire").
Yes, Kevin Costner is so solid in this film he's actually amazing. As in far more Oscar-worthy than Sandra Bullock in "The Blindside". But there is SO much more to this film than that. There is some truly great direction in this film. To the point of Best-Director Nomination worthy. No, there is no ultra-violence-sexual-coming-of-age-lifetime-achievement-Hollywood-favorite-political-message-of-the-moment scene to be found in this film. There's no head-hurting-stomach-churning-morality-twisting-drama that usually gets the Oscar nod. Heck there's not even any flashy cinematography. What there is, is a BEAUTIFULLY understated craftsmanship that lets the incredible script and outstanding acting throughout unfold the story.
There's laugh-out-loud moments of hilarity to be found, there's a strong undercurrent of the dislike people have of living, working, BEING somewhere they feel is beneath them, for the very human reasons that no one needs spelled out.
I've LIVED in a neighborhood where there were sirens every night, gunshots, barking dogs and screams (and so many drug dealers on my street I almost couldn't get into my own driveway), in the very same place where I made life-long friends and got TWO giant going away cards signed by countless families. I spent time with snobs who treated me like dirt around the same time, in a place that many people thought was a better world (and where my black friend got the cops called on him for preaching in a white neighborhood). I even preached in neighborhoods that were mere miles from fields farmed by immigrants (I drove through roads next to those fields when I went to college to get my degree). And yes, I do have Hispanic blood and LOOK like I belong in those fields myself if I get a bit of sun (hilariously I've been called "a white boy", "Italian" and "Mexican" depending on how much sun exposure I get), and I spent my teen years doing construction work for my dad with his Mexican workers (as my sister pointed out, the only people TOUGH enough to handle working on his crew) under the hot California sun. What am I saying, this film hit me close to home on a number of levels.
Getting back to this film, having spent so much time in areas like it's setting, it feels absolutely authentic. All of the drama, the humor, the subtle romance, the cynicism, and ultimately the triumph, feels very, very real. The film is so well paced, acted, directed, and written, that it's entertaining from start to finish, and deeply moving in a way I haven't felt since "Stand And Deliver".
The other reviewers are absolutely correct. This film is a good family film. It's an incredible story. It's moving, it's funny, it's feel good. It's a movie for people who like sports films, and even moreso for people who don't. It should be shown in every Middle School ESPECIALLY in California. And it is absolutely worth owning and watching repeatedly.
This is not just a great sports film. It is one of the best films to come out in the last ten years. Essential purchase.
Also a great soundtrack.

Es la revancha de un entrenador de deportes en "High School" que fracasa con un equipo de futbol americano (Kevin Costner) y tiene una nueva oportunidad; acepta un empleo en el poblado de McFarland, un lejano poblado habitado por migrantes mexicanos agrícolas, que llevan muy marcada su cultura, por lo que les cuesta adaptarse al sistema americano y superar las exigencias inherentes; el reto es lograrlo, sin perder su esencia.
El entrenador y su familia tienen que convivir y son aceptados por la comunidad; él encuentra la oportunidad de formar un equipo de carrera a campo traviesa con chicos forjados en el duro trabajo de la pizca y acostumbrados a correr para ir de un lugar a otro. Este tipo de competencia es inédito tanto para el "coach" como para la escuela de McFarland; es necesario romper barreras y prejuicios y aprovechar sus potenciales naturales... La simbiosis entre el "coach", los chicos de la escuela y la comunidad entera cambian la visión de si mismos y su autoestima logrando ser capaces de competir, ser reconocidos por los contrincantes y alcanzar "the American Dream" de alguna forma.
