About Pride

Based on a true-life story set in 1970s Philadelphia PRIDE follows determined swimming coach Jim Ellis (Terrence Howard) as he as struggles to gain recognition and respect for his African-American team. Operating out of a recreational center in a rough part of Philly Ellis s loose-knit group of teens face difficulties dealing with both criminal and racial issues making it that much harder to keep them focused on swimming. When Ellis gets a chance to take on the swim team of a school that rejected him for a job he sees a great opportunity for his kids to show their true mettle.Helmed by first-time feature-film director Sunu Gonera PRIDE like 2006 s football-themed INVINCIBLE is steeped in the look of 70s Philadelphia but that aspect never seems forced allowing the poignant story to shine through thanks in large part to Howard s thoughtful no-frills performance. While Bernie Mac is on hand to lend support the comedian (and his considerable sideburns) never steals the show and only enhances the movie s uplifting vibe which is boosted further by an excellent Philly-soul soundtrack that prominently features the O Jays. Although PRIDE isn t out to reinvent the sports-drama wheel its attention to factual detail and its amiable straightforward aesthetic make it an exemplary offering in the genre.System Requirements:Running Time: 109 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA Rating: PG UPC: 031398215431 Manufacturer No: 21543 Product Description

Pride

Spectacular lesson in determination

I showed Pride to my high school students, a first viewing for most of us. Actors, directing, movie set--action, drama, healing--a heady combination in the portrayal based on a true story that caused chill bumps, laughter, and tears among us all. I highly recommend it to young adults--and older ones as well. September 21, 2007
