Goodbye Winter Blues - Hello Heartwarming McFarland USA #McFarlandUSA

Recently there was the World Premiere of MCFARLAND, USA at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood and let me tell you I'm thrilled about this amazing movie starring Kevin Costner and an equally amazing cast that premiers across the country on February 20, 2015!

With many of us having to put up with dreary winter weather I think we could all use a dose of inspiration to get us out of these winter blues. Lucky for all of us the movie McFarland USA is coming out this month and it will inspire you! I’m already inspired and I haven’t even seen it.

How can you not feel good and be almost in awe of this true story. That’s right not only is it amazing star of the power of family it’s a true story which makes it that much more special!

Based on the 1987 true story, “McFarland, USA” follows novice runners from McFarland, an economically challenged town in California’s farm-rich Central Valley, as they give their all to build a cross-country team under the direction of Coach Jim White (Kevin Costner), a newcomer to their predominantly Latino high school. Coach White and the McFarland students have a lot to learn about each other but when White starts to realize the boys’ exceptional running ability, things begin to change.

Soon something beyond their physical gifts becomes apparent—the power of family relationships, their unwavering commitment to one another and their incredible work ethic. With grit and determination, the unlikely band of runners eventually overcomes the odds to forge not only a championship cross-country team but an enduring legacy as well. Along the way, Coach White realizes that his family finally found a place to call home and both he and his team achieve their own kind of American dream. I don’t know about you but I like stories with happy endings, I don’t want to be depressed and I definitely won’t be with this uplifting story that epitomizes how a supportive family can overcome anything and how together they can reach their dreams!

Time to get out of your winter blues check out this clip from this heartwarming and yes inspirational movie.

  1. It's weird, but I don't remember hearing about this movie. It must not have been out that long either. The review states that it was based on a true story also - still nothing rings a bell. But I am always looking for inspirational movies to share with my family. I'm pinning this article so I remember the name of this movie - thanks!
