    A powerful story that is much more than a basketball documentary. Follow an unconventional coach and the motivated girls team he attempts to lead not only on the court, but also in life. A journey that will have you laugh and cry, angry and hopeful and not to mention infuse you with inspiration.

    This is an inspirational documentary about a girl that came to a high school and played varsity basketball. It follows her high school career and the problems she has to get there. This is something that girls should watch if they are losing confidence in anything they do.

    I'm kinda tired of all these basketball movies, and the sport in general. WHY CAN'T THE SUNS WIN? THEY WERE SO CLOSE!

    Darnelia Russell is an amazing person. There's a lot here to like. I didn't feel like I ever had a sense of who the coach was though.

    This movie is better than most when talking about themes related to teaching...

    Great little documentary. It's "Hoop Dreams" with girls. Very compelling with unexpected real life twists. A nice feel-good film.

    If you are a true basketball fan, you have to see this movie! It may have been a little boring but in the end it was a really good documentary. A true basketball story!

    One of the most amazing and greatest sports documentaries i have ever seen. This is a super inspiring sports documentary that will leave you glued to your chair wanting to see it again. I am not that into womens basketball and much less into highschool womens basketball but i have to admit that this is the best basketball documentary i have seen, men or womens. These girls have the heart of champions and a coach that gives them the mentality they need to be good at what they do. I highly recomend this movie, it doesn't matter if you like basketball or not, or like documentaries or not, you will love this movie!

    Wow, basketball sounds interesting and I should hope that it's not all bad and cheezy, but I guess I'm going to find out when I see it.

    is it just me or is everyone else bored with seeing music artists in movies about random sporting activities... it just confuses me and half the time they can't act... it's just to attract attention

    HMMMM... Looks like a sport movie so it's probably going to be good since I love sports! It looks to me as a basketball movie which isnt as good but will probably still be awesome!
