The movie was excellent in many respects and the biblical foundation solid, and I'd highly recommend it, even though I don't agree with some of the suggestive clothing of the lead actress. Remember this is a Christian film intended for young girls. The Christian program "Crosstalk" agreed calling the lead actress' dress ungodly. On that point: "We are not to be molded into the image of the world" (Rom 12:2). Godliness and holiness are inward character qualities that bear outward fruit, which can include what a person chooses to wear. Modesty thankfully still matters in many Christian circles.

A girl's Christian Academy hires a new track coach and Allee Sutton Hethcoat has her own ideas about training a cross country team to win over the long haul distance. Apparently the parents think that their daughters ought to be sprinting like Flo Jo. They want Hethcoat canned and the principal is ready to do it.The film even without the Christian auspices is a nice study of what it takes to train a track team. But as this is a Christian film of course it will have certain parameters.The theme of the film is the Bible verse Corinthians 10:31 about doing your best and giving God the glory. I'm not against that, but does it have to be done so publicly?A nice film, but restricted to church audiences.

For a sport's fan give this movie a 7/10 for trusting your coach. As a Christian, add a star for trusting God. The movie is very clean. I would not hesitate to let an eight year old watch this movie. The PG rating is nonsense. The reference to drug use (weed) is positive in context.

What a movie. What a movie. Remarkable. I wish I could express the value of the parallels found in this movie... but unfortunately, there is not a number low enough. What a work of art. The acting was sub-par, but that mini-golf game was straight fire. I was taken aback at the complexity of the issues facing these kiddos. Weed? Porches? White slavery? That thing the girl forgot to do after dinner? This film left no stone unturned. I remember my high school days when I had to deal with similar issues for myself. I, too, joined the girls Cross Country team to run away from my problems. We did not win the state meet; we actually had to forfeit nearly every game. But, I digress. In addition to a wonderfully thought out script and top-notch directing, Remember The Goal's protagonist, Coach Kathy Ross-Gasolin, is a liar. At the beginning of the film she very clearly states, "I am only going to say this once: remember the goal." She then proceeds to say this multiple times throughout the film. I had to cover my children's ears. We can't go on corrupting our youth in this manner. All things considered, though, I can't think of any better way to spend $72 and 98 minutes of my life. Well done. Bravo. I, for one, shall always REMEMBER THE GOAL.
