Mighty Macs DVD Review and Giveaway

This Giveaway Is Now Closed

I have told y'all before how much we like movies here at the double wide.  We have movie night almost every Friday.  The kiddos look forward to it all week long.  In fact it's how I taught Oak the days of the week.  We started with Friday (movie night).  

We do run into a problem every now and again.  It can be hard finding family friendly movies. So I was very excited when I was asked to watch and review movie The Mighty Macs.
Carla Gugino, who plays Coach Cathy Rush, is great in this movie.  I loved her in Spy Kids and Mr. Popper's Penguins.  She is one of my favorite family friendly actresses, and she did not disappoint in The Mighty Macs.

It is rated G and was totally family friendly. No language, I don't want the kiddos hearing. Nothing inappropriate at all.  By the end of the movie the kiddos especially Abba were cheering right along with the movie for the Might Macs.   I always love a movie that is based on a true story like this one.  Warm fuzzies were had by all who watched. The youngest kiddos (2&1 year olds) didn't watch to much of it.  I really liked how strong the main character was and how she taught the players to be strong as well.

I am doubly excited that I get to give one DVD of The Mighty Macs movie to one of you lovely people.   Here is a little of what the movie is about.

It's 1971. Cathy Rush is a woman ahead of her time ... and she's about to embark on an adventure for the ages. A new era is dawning in the country and in collegiate athletics, where a national champion will be crowned for the first time in women's basketball.
In the lead up to this historical season, major universities are preparing their game plans to win that first title. Meanwhile a tiny all-women's Catholic college in Philadelphia has a more modest goal: find a coach before the season begins. Providentially, Cathy Rush is about to find Immaculata College.

Recently married, Cathy is dealing with the aftermath of a truncated playing career. While cultural norms would have her staying at home, she's willing to do the hard work necessary to help her new team reach their goals—or perhaps she's just trying to achieve her unfulfilled dreams through them.

From the beginning, her challenges are as imposing as the big-school teams Immaculata will face on the court. Cathy learns there is no gymnasium on campus, she receives little support from the school's Mother Superior, and the school is in dire financial straits. To top it off, she may not even have enough players to field a team!

While it appears the Macs don't have a prayer, all hope is not lost. With the help of Sister Sunday—a spunky assistant coach—and the support of a booster club of elderly nuns, Coach Rush creates a new game plan that just might bring the team—and the school—together.

Will this pioneer buck cultural norms and spur her rag-tag team to unexpected heights? Or will her hard-driving ways create a wedge between the coach and everyone around her? One thing's for certain: there's never been anyone like Cathy Rush at Immaculata!
