He begins a team for troubled black teens at a local sports club in Philadelphia. His team learns the value of teamwork and commitment as they break racial barriers.
Pride is no different than the other inspirational sports movie "based on a true story" that you've seen 8 times already. Honestly, there isn't one event in this movie that you can't see coming. That said, It still delivers good performances and if you're into this type of movie, you'll probably get what you were looking for.
Pride also suffers from it's lack of constantly-moving pace. You might get a scene where something exciting happens, but then have to endure 4 or 5 scenes of people discussing something exciting that just happened. And it's not an exactly what you want in your movie. 'Pride' is as generic as it's title, but it has some good performances, writing and a soothing message. 2.5 from 4.
