Remember the Titans

After leading his football team to 15 winning seasons, coach Bill Yoast is demoted and replaced by Herman Boone – tough, opinionated and as different from the beloved Yoast as he could be. The two men learn to overcome their differences and turn a group of hostile young men into champions.
What critics thought
DivisiveCritics were genuinely divided on Remember the Titans: audiences adored it while professional reviewers largely found it a formula sports film in civil-rights clothing, too tidy and manipulative to wrestle honestly with its own subject matter. The central tension in almost every review is whether Washington's commanding presence and the film's warmth are enough to redeem a story that irons out every real-world complication before the final whistle.
“relentlessly manipulative and hopelessly predictable”
James Berardinelli·ReelViews
“beneath its rah-rah rhetoric and pigskin proselytizing, it's no more provocative or thoughtful than a Hallmark Hall of Fame film or, for that matter, a Hallmark greeting card. Its heart is in the right place, but it has no soul.”
Robert Wilonsky·Dallas Observer
“Denzel Washington should have held out for a better script before he signed on to star in Remember the Titans, but you can see why he wanted to do the movie: He gets to play Martin Luther King Jr. and Vince Lombardi rolled into one nostalgically omnipotent tough-love saint.”
Owen Gleiberman·Entertainment Weekly
“it's possible to make a sentimental drama that isn't sickening — and a sports movie that transcends cliches.”
