Pride


Terrance Howard plays a school teacher who, because he is African American has trouble finding a job even though he is educated. He finally gets frustrated and takes a job cleaning out an old community center, and in the process decides to fix up the swimming pool and start Philadelphia's first all African-American swim team. The team does not really take it seriously at first and so struggles to get accepted. This is an inspirational film that is really worth watching.

The Guardian


It is about time that Kevin Costner was in another good movie! He joins Ashton Kutcher in a film about the amazing job of being a rescue swimmer for the U.S. Coast Guard. Costner plays the swimmer that is getting older and so has to move to the role of instructor, and of course Kutcher is one of his problematic but most promising students. I think Costner and Kutcher were really good as a team in this movie, and the movie was very enjoyable to watch.
