KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Adam Reeb My review for "Last Chance U" after watching two seasons. I waited to write this review until I completed the second season of the show because I wanted to see if changes were made by Buddy Stephens. I am glad I waited because I now have even more fuel to throw at that overweight bully. In the first season, Coach Stephens has some choice words for his players after the massive brawl with Delta at the end of the first season. He refers to them as thugs and rednecks. He berates and insults them on a daily basis by telling them to "Shut Up" all the time. This man is no coach and it is obviously he only cares about his status as a coach rather than the players he coaches. Season one ends with EMCC being disqualified from the post season.Season two opens with Buddy Stephens giving his "Woe is Me" speech and saying how he is going to change after viewing himself in the first season. He even goes as far and doing push ups for cursing. (That won't last long). After a few episodes he continues to berate his players by constantly telling the to "shut up" and goes as far as to tell his own coaching staff that they are terrible. The running back gets a serious injury, concussion, and is treated properly but when he sprains his ankle the coaches call him weak and punish him for being hurt. Coach Stephens is a horrible coach, he doesn't care about his players. He only cares about his National Championship, is JUCO Buddy not the NCAA, relax. At the end of the second season, the finale game, Buddy is shown having a one way conversation with Coach Wood, he is yelling and cursing at him, in front of the players mind you, and kicks him off the sideline. This guy kicked his own OC off the sideline. The show is good but Buddy Stephens is a real piece of work and terrible person. The loss in staff shows you he is impossible to work with and the only sad thing about the second season was Ms. Wagner leaving.

TheDeadZone-09507 Review of the first few episodes of Season 2I really enjoy this series, I really do. However the atrociously poor grammar, and the foul language used by the players and coaches at EMCC is a disgrace. I think the football coaches have a responsibility to help prepare these young men not only for a possible future in football but in life as they go forward. Why the macho need for all the cursing and swearing? The education system I came from would never allow for such poor grammar and foul language to be spoken. But then again winning it seems is all that matters - right? I still think this is a great series otherwise.

schindler-41313 This is an excellent documentary that truly captures what it is to be a part of a football team in the South. Larger than life personalities mingle and clash unfiltered within the setting of the most "Southern" of the southern states, Mississippi, where no two things matter more than Jesus and Football. What makes the South different than most places is that it unabashedly wears its soul on the outside for all to see. It is an impossible Gumbo of compassion, hope, joy, camaraderie and love mixed in with hypocrisy, bombastic narcissism, misplaced priorities, mistrust and deep social issues. At first glance it appears incredibly dysfunctional, but in the end it somehow makes sense. I feel that this documentary captures the reality of the South and of Mississippi.This documentary also exposes the universal issue of institutions of learning bending to the needs of their Athletic Programs. So often the tail is wagging the dog. Even so it complicates the issue by firmly highlighting that for many Athletics provides the only viable opportunity to escape a life of poverty and violence.There are people like Brittany Wagner (in the documentary), who devote their lives to forging opportunities for others, and their contributions too often go unnoticed. We live in a screwed up world, it is refreshing to see people like her who refuse to give up on the lives of others.

jbrumundsmith If you like sports documentaries, you are going to love this series. Most people are hesitant to go into a documentary not knowing the subjects, but the filmmakers do a great job introducing you to what you need to know right away. Overall, this a great documentary that is very well put together, but the subjects can certainly aggravate you.East Mississippi Community College, which you have probably never heard of, is the focus of this documentary. The head coach obviously gets a lot of air time, as well as some of the star players (a few quarterbacks and some other intriguing characters, of course) and their academic adviser. There is no real "star" of the documentary, but the person most people rooting for is that academic adviser, Brittany Wagner. She is the only character who seems to fully understand her role at the college and give her best effort in a meaningful way.The head coach, Buddy Stephens, is like a combination of every negative stereotype of head football coaches. He is loud, overweight, aggressive, mean, and unable or unwilling to understand that kids make mistakes on the football field. In one instance, he reams out a player for missing a block, reams him out some more, then comes back for a third reaming and pushes the kid. The kid says to the coach that he didn't need to push him, which makes Coach Stephens bench him for the rest of the game. Coach Stephens is your classic bully football coach who sees no problem is publicly humiliating his players for even the most minor of offenses.Of course there are players on the team who are highlighted as well. All have a different story that lead them to a community college, and seem to really have the same goal in mind: getting out of there to someplace better. Skipping classes and not listening are recurring themes. Some players say they are all about the team, but do not sound genuine about it. Overall they want to win, of course, but seem more interested in where that winning will take them.The cinematography is beautiful. The setup and layout are beautiful. These filmmakers really know what they are doing. If you love sports and are interested in how athletics have affect human emotions, this series is highly recommended.
