Based on the 1987 true story, “McFarland, USA” follows novice runners from McFarland, an economically challenged town in California’s farm-rich Central Valley, as they give their all to build a cross-country team under the direction of Coach Jim White (Kevin Costner), a newcomer to their predominantly Latino high school. Coach White and the McFarland students have a lot to learn about each other but when White starts to realize the boys’ exceptional running ability, things begin to change. Soon something beyond their physical gifts becomes apparent-the power of family relationships, their unwavering commitment to one another and their incredible work ethic. With grit and determination, the unlikely band of runners eventually overcomes the odds to forge not only a championship cross-country team but an enduring legacy as well. Along the way, Coach White realizes that his family finally found a place to call home and both he and his team achieve their own kind of American dream.

This sounds like such a great movie. I have yet to see ANY Kevin Costner movie that I haven’t loved.
That’s the same with me. Of course I have loved some more than others, but I can’t recall any that I just didn’t like at all.
This sounds like it’s going to be such a great movie. I’ve always loved movies about underdogs.

I think back to the 80s and I am amazed by how long ago it was. It just doesn’t seem right.

This looks like a really good movie. It’s nice to see Kevin Costner in so many roles again.
I do love that he seems to be in more roles lately. I really do think he is one of the better actors. I actually really liked him in “Rumor Has It,” too, with Jennifer Aniston.
Omg what an awesome inside look!! I’ve actually never heard of McFarland but now I wanna see it!!
We were just talking about this movie the other day when we saw the preview. It is odd but as much as I like Kevin Costner, I am just not into his movies anymore. I can’t explain why, just one of those things. We will probably watch this when it comes to DVD though.

I’ll be the odd woman out and say that Kevin Costner isn’t my favorite. I don’t know why… nothing legit really. LOL. So I wasn’t interested in this at all. But now that I’ve read the back story, I’m actually considering it!
It’s all good. Even if you don’t love Kevin Costner, the story still seems like a really inspirational one that most people can get something from.
This sounds like a really good movie. Kevin Costner tends to choose some really good roles.

We can’t stop watching this movie. It is probably one of the best ones that I have seen in a long time.
