Edge of America (On The Edge) Reviews

I am a sucker for this kind of movie. Root for the underdogs! This is a chick-flick Independent sports movie centered around an Indian American highschool girls basketball team. Heartwarming, good intentioned filmmaking meant for lightheated enjoyment...

A real heart-warming tale of a black man as a fish-out-of-water on an Indian reservation. Terrific cast, using the local talent. Exotically beautiful Irene Bedard played the assistant coach, Annie Shorty with real fire. Beautiful scenery and a story about personal growth, the drive for excellence, and finding one's place in the world. In the midst of staggering poverty and crippling despair, Coach Williams (James McDaniel) was able to inspire a ragtag girls basketball team to achieve greatness. Tender moments brought tears and these were liberally sprinkled with laugh out loud moments. Coach had some growing up to do and this bunch of ladies were up to the task. Heck, it made me want to be a Lady Warrior!

BRILLIANT MOVIE!!
Here's an interesting movie by Chris Eyre, and one just as amazing as the other films. Great movie! Amazing performances by Delanna Studi & Eddie Spears. Worth seeing!!

Based on a true story of an African American man who goes to an Indian Reservation to teach English and coach basketball. Many of the students there have never seen a black man so it's a culture shock for both.

What an awesome movie! Truly inspiring and entertaining movie based on a true story. I was on the edge of my seat screaming for the girls basketball team. :) If you haven't seen it, watch it! :)

One of a multitude of inspirational sports films over the last five years, most are based on fact, and oddly enough all have just about the same plot. This one is a tad better than most, because it is simpler and more straight forward. The Native American cast is a plus as well.
