Bravo to the makers of the movie "Pride"! This true story of a swimming coach taking a group of inner city kids to the state championships was set in Philadelphia in the 1970s. The PDR (pride, determination and resilience) of the main character, Jim Ellis (played by Terrence Howard) was just what the doctor ordered. The casting, costumes and chemistry of these great actors which included: Kimberly Elise, Bernie Mac and Tom Arnold engulfed you in such a way that you forget you are watching a movie. The movie goers cheers were so heartfelt that you'd think they were at the actual swim meets. The movie sent chills of inspiration down my spine. I felt obligated to spread the word thereby calling close friends/family as I was leaving the cinema to let them know this is a "must see, asap movie" (a term I coined just for this movie).
