Dead Poet&#039;s Society (1989), Mr Holland&#039;s Opus (1996) and Les Choristes (2004) and even Sister Act (1992) were all variants of this theme. In this film, Marcus (Woody Harrelson) plays an NBC assistant coach who gets sacked, has a few drinks and ends up crashing his car.

What makes this film work is the mix of personalities of the people in the basketball team and how they are portrayed positively, focussing on their abilities rather than their disabilities.
