The Mighty Macs Review

The Mighty Macs, Released February, 21st, 2012, Rated G

From the inspiring true story comes the tale of one woman who just wanted to make a difference and wound up making history! When Coach Cathy Rush (Carla Gugino, Mr. Popper’s Penguins) arrives at tiny Immaculata College, the women’s basketball team has no budget, no uniforms and no gym. Refusing to give up, Cathy finds help from a young nun named Sister Sunday (Marley Shelton, Never Been Kissed). Together, their relentless drive reignites the team’s spirit and the Mighty Macs start conquering bigger and better-funded schools. As financial troubles rock Immaculata, the Macs charge into the championships against all odds. Can the Mighty Macs save their school with one last long shot at victory? You’ll stand up and cheer for the heartwarming, incredible season that made the real Cathy Rush a Basketball Hall of Fame legend! (product description via Amazon.com)


If you are a fan of movies like Rudy and Remember the Titans you won’t want to miss The Mighty Macs. This uplifting, inspiring movie is one that the whole family will enjoy. Its David vs Goliath like tale will touch your heart and also  entertain you! My boys all sat through the whole thing (even  though it was about a girls basketball team) and really got into it, cheering-on the Mighty Macs as they battled the big name schools. Even more inspiring is that this is based on the true life story of Immaculata College and Coach Cathy Rush! (And for you David Boreanaz fans, you will see a familiar face playing Rush’s husband 😉 )
