Un bacio perugina. Una confezione esterna perfetta per un cioccolatino molto apprezzato dal palato. Un tubo di cartone, una scatola regalo e, al loro interno, incartati uno ad uno con l'inconfondibile carta argentata, i famosi cioccolatini. All'interno ...read the complete Remember the Titans movie review at reVision
Anchorage Press (Peter Keough)
"This is my sanctuary," says Coach Herman Boone (Denzel Washington) as he gazes at an empty stadium in the middle of Boaz Yakin’s Remember the Titans. The first black coach foisted on a newly integrated Alexandria (Virginia) high school in 1971, Boone ...read the complete Remember the Titans movie review at Anchorage Press (Peter Keough)
7M Pictures (Kevin Carr)
The film tries its best not to point fingers and avoids the strawmen racists that are so easily shown in other movies. ...read the complete Remember the Titans movie review at 7M Pictures (Kevin Carr)

It’s amazing how moving the film really is without seeming like sappy forced sentimentality. ...read the complete Remember the Titans movie review at eFilmCritic.com (Erik Childress)

RTE Interactive (Dublin, Ireland) (Harry Guerin)
Remember The Titans won't win any Oscars and it won't explain the rules of American football but the glow will last the whole way home. ...read the complete Remember the Titans movie review at RTE Interactive (Dublin, Ireland) (Harry Guerin)
New York Times (A.O. Scott)
Remember the Titans is similarly solid; its satisfactions are time-tested, a little worn but nonetheless durable. ...read the complete Remember the Titans movie review at New York Times (A.O. Scott)

Tempi Moderni
Alexandria, Virginia, 1971. Nel clima disordinato delle tensioni razziali, una squadra di football studentesco affronta il travaglio della sua affermazione, la sua battaglia per il riconoscimento di spazi egualmente distribuiti tra bianchi e neri in una ...read the complete Remember the Titans movie review at Tempi Moderni
Moviola (Jorge G. Avila Andrade)
Pocas son las pelÃculas sobre algún deporte en particular que muestren de forma efectiva lo que sucede alrededor del atleta o el equipo en cuestión, y son todavÃa menos las que salen bien libradas al final. El común denominador que tienen todas ...read the complete Remember the Titans movie review at Moviola (Jorge G. Avila Andrade)
Boxoffice Magazine
Based on a true story, "Remember the Titans" is the latest bigscreen drama to utilize the sports-as-a-metaphor-for-life formula. Unfortunately, it's a metaphor that falls rather flat, despite the valiant efforts of an ensemble cast lead by Denzel ...read the complete Remember the Titans movie review at Boxoffice Magazine
Club Culture
Il déloge l’entraîneur, Bill Yoast qui avait plusieurs années d’ancienneté. Les conséquences de ce changement provoquent la violence, la haine et la situation est explosive à l’intérieur de l’équipe. Boone et Yoast doivent se mesurer et ...read the complete Remember the Titans movie review at Club Culture
Austin Chronicle (Marc Savlov)
While the rest of the world has its collective eyeballs on the big games down under, Disney has seen fit to offer viewers stateside some sporting rah-rahs of their own in the form of this woefully simplistic football-as-metaphor-for-racial-unity flick. I ...read the complete Remember the Titans movie review at Austin Chronicle (Marc Savlov)

Globe and Mail (Rick Groen)
The result is the sort of deeply massaged truth that isn't stranger than fiction -- it's worse than fiction. ...read the complete Remember the Titans movie review at Globe and Mail (Rick Groen)
DigitalVD.de (Christian Schmidtchen)
Teamspirit! Das ist es, was Herman Boone (Denzel Washington) seinen Jungs an der T.C. Williams High-school beibringen soll. Doch die Mitglieder des Footballteams, die Titanen, sind nicht nur grundverschieden, jeder scheint auch alles andere als Sport im ...read the complete Remember the Titans movie review at DigitalVD.de (Christian Schmidtchen)

Because the makers of "Remember the Titans" have their hearts in the right place, it's easy to forgive them for overstating their message. ...read the complete Remember the Titans movie review at Lawrence Journal-World (Dan Lybarger)
Qwipster's Movie Reviews (Vince Leo)
I suppose it was about time for producer Jerry Bruckheimer to release another stinker on the movie-going public, and REMEMBER THE TITANS ranks among his very worst. Based on a true story, this film is mostly set in 1971, where integration among public ...read the complete Remember the Titans movie review at Qwipster's Movie Reviews (Vince Leo)
Rolling Stone (Peter Travers)
When the hard battle for integration is served up as a feel-good package, we've all been bamboozled. ...read the complete Remember the Titans movie review at Rolling Stone (Peter Travers)
Xiibaro Productions (David Perry)
That is the quickie approach to looking at Remember the Titans, the latest in Denzel Washington's self-righteous oeuvre. But Remember the Titans is merely half the film it could have been. Instead of telling me about something that I was admittedly ...read the complete Remember the Titans movie review at Xiibaro Productions (David Perry)
Salon.com (Andrew O'Hehir)
Herman Boone was no doubt a terrific football coach, but the lessons to be drawn from his success in Alexandria are ambiguous, and Remember the Titans is too wrapped up in its weepy macho sentimentality to address them clearly. ...read the complete Remember the Titans movie review at Salon.com (Andrew O'Hehir)

The New York Times (A.O. Scott)
It's striking how many of the images that capture America's struggle to overcome its legacy of racism come from the world of sports. Think of Jesse Owens at the 1936 Olympics, Jackie Robinson stealing home, Arthur Ashe triumphing at Wimbledon, Tiger ...read the complete Remember the Titans movie review at The New York Times (A.O.

Chris Jarmick
Battle lines are drawn between the most conservative in the town and the most liberal and between black and white. There's some serious racism going on, but it's soft pedaled and folded into the story of the football team. Winning it turns out, by the ...read the complete Remember the Titans movie review at Chris Jarmick

New York Daily News (Jack Mathews)
History as filtered through the faux-liberal prism of Hollywood's dream factory, and an insult, I believe, to the people who actually carried the fight and endured the pain for civil rights. ...read the complete Remember the Titans movie review at New York Daily News (Jack Mathews)
ToxicUniverse.com (John Nesbit)
When I heard that Jerry Bruckheimer was backing a project called Remember the Titans, I became worried because he’s created such a long resume of worthless and mindless films, though I did enjoy a couple he did in the early 1980’s –- American ...read the complete Remember the Titans movie review at ToxicUniverse.com (John Nesbit)
