1. Quality

2. Summary

   Great 4.0

   A great ‘night with the kids’ movie with an uplifting tale about the driven and dedicated debaters from Wiley college in the 30’s. Yes, there’s a moral to this story, but don’t let that turn you off from watching this against-all-odds story about the scrappy debate team that eventually gets themselves in to the big leagues.

4. Acting

   Really Great 4.5

   Denzel Washington and Forest Whitaker add the big guns and top of the line acting to a very well executed albeit lesser known cast. Without exception, I found myself very interested in just about all of the characters who were equally as interesting as the story itself.
