“The Might Macs” DVD Review & Giveaway

I was recently given the opportunity to review the movie The Mighty Macs. The Mighty Macs opened in theaters towards the end of last year and will be available on DVD February 21st!  To get us started, I would like to share the movie trailer with you:

About The Mighty Macs:  From the inspiring true story comes the tale of one woman who just wanted to make a difference and wound up making history! When Coach Cathy Rush (Carla Gugino, MR. POPPER’S PENGUINS) arrives at tiny Immaculata College, the women’s basketball team has no budget, no uniforms and no gym. Refusing to give up, Cathy finds help from a young nun named Sister Sunday (Marley Shelton, NEVER BEEN KISSED). Together, their relentless drive reignites the team’s spirit and the Mighty Macs start conquering bigger and better-funded schools. As financial troubles rock Immaculata, the Macs charge into the championships against all odds. Can the Mighty Macs save their school with one last long shot at victory? You’ll stand up and cheer for the heartwarming, incredible season that made the real Cathy Rush a Basketball Hall of Fame legend!

 My Thoughts: We watched The Mighty Macs together as a family this weekend.  We lost my 8 year old pretty quickly, because the movie does seem to start out a bit on the slow side.  While I wish there would have been a little more character development with some of the main characters, I did eventually become emotionally invested in the film.  The Mighty Macs is based on a true story and is a great inspirational film that is appropriate for the whole family.  In the end we all agreed that it was a great movie and  my 12 year old especially enjoyed the female sports team aspect of the story.  While it is  not one of those movies that grabs you right from the start, I still recommend popping up some popcorn and making a family movie night out of it – it’s definitely worth watching!
