Review of Coach of the Year (1980) by James H — 23 Oct 2009
A sports film about a coach who takes on a job at a correctional facility. He has a nephew there as well and he tries to earn the respect of the inmates. Of course it all works out in the end but the fact is it is not a bad movie and it makes a believable story.
The film isn't flashy but more of a drama and I remember just getting it because the VHS cover looked fake. It was because that is not the guy. It looks like some person got together a bunch of people and a guy in a wheelchair.
I decided to watch it again and got the DVD off Netflix. Wow beside the DVD having some random jumpy moments it has one of the most random special features I have seen. First off a DVD dictionary of all the keywords about film.
An 8 minute cartoon featuring Casper. And a Movie Trivia question that says you are a smart person and/or that you have too much time on your hand. Anyway besides the DVD stuff which has nothing to do with the actual movie I still think it is a good movie and Robert Conrad does a good job as the coach.
