Review of The Mighty Macs (2011) by Marina N — 24 Feb 2012
BRAVO, a diamond in the rough, a true gem! The Mighty Macs is an inspiring and uplifting true story about a young coach named Cathy Rush (played by Carla Gugino), and how she was able to bring the Immaculata College âMacsâ? to two national championships in womenâ(TM)s basketball during the early 70â(TM)s.
Yes the rise of women's basketball amid the social and sexual turmoil of the 1970's. Cathy has an incredible passion to help the all-women Catholic college have a winning basketball team. Her husband, Ed (David Boreanaz), a coach himself, would like his wife to settle down and start a family with him.
Mother St. John, (Ellen Burstyn) is responsible for hiring Cathy at a very low wage, no gym to practice in and hardly any funding. It is unclear if she wants Cathy to succeed or not, giving the story a bit of mystery.
Folks this is one heck of a motion picture and any parents with daughters ought to watch it. Proves that with teamwork, practice, unity, faith and a great coach, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! Added to my private collection and highly recommended!!
