Remember the Titans Reviews
This is certainly full of worthy thoughts and intentions; but, in the end, Americans just don't seem to understand that American football seems as bizarre to most of the world as Eton Fives.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 26, 2024
Inspiring football drama brings history to life.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 28, 2010
Maybe it's all true. But one is always a little discomfited when life, or a movie, imitates weary melodramatic patterns this slavishly.

The leads, Denzel Washington and particularly Will Patton, are so good they occasionally make you forget the material is shameless.

The emphasis on the players' developing mutual trust, is absorbing to watch and cleanly directed.

The result is the sort of deeply massaged truth that isn't stranger than fiction -- it's worse than fiction.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 22, 2002
When the hard battle for integration is served up as a feel-good package, we've all been bamboozled.

It's got Denzel Washington in it (generally a good sign), it's not just about gridiron, it's not as predictable as you might think, and it's actually rather good.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 16, 2001
It's pretty bad.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 7, 2001

Once kicked, the ball deflates midway through the goal posts, and then lies there sagging for another 45 minutes.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 1, 2000
The good news is that whenever the tear-and-a-smile stuff threatens to go overboard, the film pulls back and gives us another scene on the football field, and all the football scenes are strong.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 1, 2000
Engagingly cast, with a lively soundtrack and glossy cinematography.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 1, 2000
Taken on its own terms, it's an agreeable entertainment, solidly crafted, wonderfully acted and often genuinely moving.

I admired the way the screenplay, by Gregory Allen Howard, doesn't make Boone noble and Yoast a racist, but shows them both as ambitious and skilled professionals.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 1, 2000
A sure script, solid direction, and another sensational performance by Denzel Washington.
