Ethan ☔️Mar 3, 2023If you don’t cry when Danny Diaz rounds the corner at state you are heartless.

It may be the latest in a long line of condescendingly inspirational sports movies about a catalog Caucasian who learns that people of other races are also capable of being decent, but McFarland, USA is possibly the first of them not to feature a single training…
davidehrlichJul 28, 2019Until you've seen it you can't tell me this isn't one of the greatest sports movies of all time.

the peakest of peak white saviorism but i actually loved this so.. free pass! also the “i have 5 bucks and 7 boys who have never seen the ocean” and “that’s not danny diaz” scenes made me want to stand in front of oncoming traffic
kass ⊹˚·Jul 7, 2015Terrific movie. Just terrific. I won't lie at all that I cried a little bit near the end but it was tears of joy. Very underrated indeed.
Michael VazquezNov 21, 2022This is going to sound weird, but Kevin Costner gives off major Bob Odenkirk vibes in this. I honestly don't know why but he just does

Zoe lovedMcFarland, USAI don’t know what crack they put into this but I love this movie an unreasonable amount. “That’s not Danny Diaz!!” When they prayed after qualifying? Thomas hugging his dad? Pushing Julie out of the way? Going to the beach? The car wash? I’m injecting this into my bloodstream

Classic feel good movie. It’s funny, inspiring, and very heartwarming. I used to run cross country, so I always feel a little nostalgic when I rewatch. The actors all do a wonderful job of bringing impactful emotion to both the uplifting scenes and the more emotional ones
Jessie lovedMcFarland, USADefinitely the movie that has inspired me to go exercise the most! Kevin Costner leads a great cast to tell a compelling true story that reminds us to work hard for what we believe in, no matter how much the odds are stacked against us. A great inspirational sports film!
Lucas Vachon likedMcFarland, USA7.4 I enjoyed this a lot more than I expected. This movie did a great job of blending a story about culture with sports, which is a common theme in the most successful movies in the genre. Costner is great in this and there were some great teen actors in this as well

Uplifting story told well. Very enjoyable.

With its genuine interest in the immigrant experience and what it means to be an American, McFarland USA ekes out a victory in the margins, proving that a little openness and a little self-awareness can do wonders.

McFarland is old-fashioned without being dull, pandering without feeling cloying or racist.

There’s more to this movie than sweeping music and celebrating in slow motion. It all stems from Costner’s remarkable, taciturn performance as Coach White.
