Please take my word for this, go to Redbox, spend a buck and get "The Mighty Macs"!

If you like uplifting sports underdog movies like "Hoosiers" and "Remember the Titans", you'll love "The Mighty Macs"!

Don't be put off by the fact that this about a Catholic college (now university) and has many nuns as characters in the cast. The movie doesn't preach anything of a religious nature. It does send a message about teamwork, never giving up on your dreams and giving your all as a part of a team. The (I think) fictitious character of the nun who becomes the asistant coach of the team is, in fact, one of my favorite people in the story.

My lovely wife and I have many connections to this film. She was a nun herself at one time and actually lived at Immaculata. She saw some of the nuns with whom she served as extras in the movie. I, as a Philadelphia native in my late teens during the Macs glory days, remember with great affection their dynasty as the first women's national champions. This was a time when all of the professional Philly teams, Eagles, Sixers, Phils and Flyers, were BAD!

The Macs were a few Catholic college girls who learned about teamwork and made an entire region cheer!

The Mighty Macs did Philadelphia proud, Catholic and Non-Catholic alike.

This movie brought back some very warm and nostalgic feelings for us. For anyone else, I think that you'll see a fun movie that everyone in the family can enjoy.

Give it a try. I doubt that you'll be sorry.

PEACE!
