As a sports movie IPrideI doesnt quite work, but Im not sure they could have done it any better. This is based on someones life after all, and the only way to amp things up to traditionally acceptable sports tension levels is by adding fiction and fabrication into the script. IPrideI simply tells Jim Elliss story as it is, for better or worse. They get the period right, sell it with some toe-tapping music, and give Terrence Howard room to shine. Elliss story isnt flashy, its not exciting, but the film does manage to convey what it is about him thats so inspiring. IPrideI made me admire Jim Ellis and everything hes done for his community. Im just not in love with the idea of turning his life into a movie.
