This is a good film, which shows the demands of high academic performance coupled with the challenges of competing in college athletics. It captures the heart and spirit of the Caltech men's basketball team, and also shows a little of the history of Caltech and its athletic programs.
One person described the film as heartwarming and heartbreaking, and I agree. Coach Roy Dow shows tremendous skill and commitment as he works with the players, and other coaches in his conference tell of their admiration of his commitment and performance.
The climactic game in the film, against Whittier College couldn't have been scripted to be any more exciting.
This film is like a cross between Real Genius and Hoosiers.
