A high school football coach finds himself fighting for stakes much higher than the State Championship in this drama based on actual events. In 1971, a court order forces three high schools in Alexand... read more read more...ria, Virginia (two white, one African-American), to integrate their student bodies and faculties for the first time. As a result, Coach Bill Yoast (Will Patton), longtime head coach of the T.C. Williams High School football team, is asked to step down, and Herman Boone (Denzel Washington) is appointed to replace him as the school's first black faculty member. The new coach is hardly welcomed with open arms, either by the school's staff or the students, and the newly integrated team is full of players (both black and white) who have little trust or respect for one another. But Boone is determined to put a winning team on the field -- it's how he approaches the game, and his future depends on it. Against long odds, Boone helps his team overcome distrust and misunderstanding of their coach (and each other) as they become a gridiron force to be reckoned with. Remember the Titans also features Nicole Ari Parker, Kate Bosworth, and Jerry Brandt, and was produced by action-film kingpin Jerry Bruckheimer. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    Extremely formulaic sports drama, but with a great leading performance from Denzel Washington, this film becomes something more special.

    This movie was just okay. It had a nice plot but in the end it was just another football movie. Acting was pretty good, and the moral was pretty sweet. Its probably me, but I expected more. In the end it was an average football flick for me.

    Never get tired of seeing this movie, super inspirational! Best football movie ever made! Acting was superb!!!

    In the early 1970s, two schools in Alexandria Virginia integrate forming T.C. Williams High School. The Caucasian head coach of the Titans is replaced by an African Ame... read morerican coach from North Carolina. Tensions arise when players of different races are forced together on the same football team. Many of these tensions are eased during the two-week training camp in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. When players returned to Alexandria the players found the city in turmoil due to the forced desegregation of the high school. As the season progresses the team's success caused the community to accept the changes. After the Titans' perfect season, the team and the city were closer than ever.

    I'd avoided this movie for quite long since it fell under the "Sports" genre, a genre that doesn't cater to me in general. However, this one turned out to be exceptionally well done & I thoroughly enjoyed it (though I feel that the sub-genre "Drama" contributed more to my liking ... read morethe movie here). Performance-wise, almost everyone's done a great job, but I found Denzel, Patton, Ryan Hurst & Claire... err, I mean Hayden Panettiere to be the most outstanding of the lot. Also, the movie surely couldn't have been as great as I felt it to be, had it not been for its excellently penned dialogues. The director has played all his cards perfectly here, & has used all the emotional & dramatic tactics amazingly to bring home an incredibly entertaining, cheerful "feel good" movie. I, for one, will surely Remember the Titans.

    I mainly have no respect for this movie due to the fact that it is everywhere. Over-hyped would be nice compared to what this is. I don't think you can mention sports movies without someone mentioning this very average film. It doesn't really bring anything new to the table and i... read moresn't by any means a well written or directed piece. Sure, the cast is nice and have chemistry together, but it doesn't make a movie timeless.

    "They came together when their classmates and loved ones would not."

    The true story of a newly appointed African-American coach and his high school team on their first season as a racially integrated unit.

    Disney is famous for creating never-never lands. They've done it here as well. The film is well produced, reasonably well acted and compelling in its own way. But it's as much a morality play and about as realistic as Little Red Riding Hood, full of soap opera scenarios, predictable turns of plot and guys in white hats and black hats. (Or is that football helmets?) And of course, they all live happily ever after. (Except one guy, but we can't give that one away, can we.) Based on a true story it may be. But I suspect the politically correct bunch at Disney took a lot of poetic licence. If you like "nice" pictures you'll like this one. Maybe if they had animated it, it would be more believable.

Richard Schickel

Richard Schickel, TIME Magazine

Maybe it's all true. But one is always a little discomfited when life, or a movie, imitates weary melodramatic patterns this slavishly. Full Review

March 26, 2007
Chicago Reader

The leads, Denzel Washington and particularly Will Patton, are so good they occasionally make you forget the material is shameless. Full Review

Rick Groen
March 22, 2002
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail

The result is the sort of deeply massaged truth that isn't stranger than fiction -- it's worse than fiction. Full Review

Peter Travers

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

When the hard battle for integration is served up as a feel-good package, we've all been bamboozled.

Susan Stark

Susan Stark, Detroit News

Sturdy, gripping and well-balanced if somewhat artificial. Full Review

James Berardinelli

James Berardinelli, ReelViews

If viewed as a crowd-pleasing, feel-good sports movie, the film is an unqualified success. Full Review

Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune

A totally absorbing movie.

Todd McCarthy

Todd McCarthy, Variety

Aside from its message-waving, pic dedicates itself to entertaining the audience via its military-style whip-'em-into-shape training antics, the sort of thing that always goes down very easily. Full Review

Peter Rainer

Peter Rainer, New York Magazine

The story is based on real incidents, but the uplifting tone is laid on so thick that it's difficult to believe a minute of it. Full Review

Titans may prove that Bruckheimer has a social conscience, but it can't hide his penchant for pandering.
