    Pride doesn't have much surprise, but it's a formula picture of genuine feeling.

    If nothing else, Pride has the best sports-film soundtrack ever--Philly funk and soul, '70s style. And hell, that'll get ya wet.

    This is familiar terrain jazzed up by unfamiliar voices--principally Terrence Howard and his high-pitched, singsong drawl. You don't quite know what he's thinking; he might even be demented. But he keeps you watching and guessing.

    Surprisingly, one of the best films I've seen in quite some time. Excellent story, fantastic acting and first rate screenplay. A huge thumbs up.
