Watch: Believe in Me 2006 123movies, Full Movie Online – Girls? The thought of coaching them seems preposterous to Clay Driscoll (earnest newcomer Jeffrey Donovan), who travels to Middleton, Okla., in the 1960s prepared to coach the varsity boys’ team. But that position is filled, so he’s forced to coach the girls’ team — the Lady Cyclones. Faced with an under-performing crew of untrained players, the coach begins to treat the girls like boys. They run laps in a closed gym and practice shots and plays they’ve never tried before — and eventually their “old-fashioned grit” leads them to a Cinderella season culminating with the state championships. Along their way, Driscoll and the girls overcome several obstacles, most of all, gaining a fan base. Meanwhile, big man in town Ellis Brawley (Bruce Dern) can’t stand Driscoll and his newfangled idea of empowering female athletes. Of course, the Lady Cyclones are up to the task of proving Brawley wrong. Driven by their caring young coach, the girls determine to play as hard as the boys, even though they know they’ll probably end up “farmers’ and ranchers’ wives.” Can they achieve their winning moment at State?.
Plot: In a conservative small town, a young man’s wish to coach high school basketball are tweaked by a school board decision that makes him the new coach of the girls’ team.

derivative but sometmes touching sports story
Sort of a distaff version of “Glory Road,” “Believe in Me” tells the true life story of a girls’ high school basketball coach in 1960’s Oklahoma who, by instilling the values of hard work, perseverance and teamwork into his players, leads his underdog team to victory in the state championships. In this case, it is not the girls who give the coach the majority of his headaches but rather the town leaders, who don’t believe that girls’ sports should be accorded the same level of respect and financial support that has always been given, without question, to the boys.

As conceived by writer/director Robert Collector, “Believe in Me” floats along quite contentedly on a sea of inspirational-sports-movie clichés. Yet, despite its overall predictability and corniness, the movie contains enough genuinely touching moments to make it worth recommending. Moreover, Jeffrey Donovan is so earnest and appealing and brings such a self-effacing modesty to the role of the coach that he draws us into the character and the story almost against our will. Samantha Mathis is also effective as the wife whose words of wisdom and support sustain him in his most difficult hours. Bruce Dern is stuck playing what is probably the most one-dimensional character in the movie – the grumpy town leader who does everything in his power to undercut Coach Driscoll’s efforts on behalf of his team. The girls are pleasant enough as a group, but none steps out of the background long enough to make herself a compelling individual.

This is definitely a minor addition to the list of memorable movies about team sports, but given its limitations and modest ambitions, it makes for passable viewing.
