Pride
Sports pep fest, or pap fest, centered around the new employee at the obsolete rec center, a former college athlete who whips the young neighborhood layabouts into a competitive swim team, and rewrites the acronym PDR from Philadelphia Department of Recreation to "Pride, Determination, Resilience." Terrence Howard, playing a real man named Jim Ellis, pitches the message very hard, but the rah-rah roteness teaches nothing so much as embarrassment. With Bernie Mac, Kimberly Elise, and Tom Arnold; directed by Sunu Gonera. 2007.
