McFarland, USA (released in Canada under its original title McFarland)
is a 2015 sports drama film directed by Niki Caro and produced by Walt
Disney Pictures.
Based on the true story of a 1987 cross country team from a
predominantly Mexican-American high school, McFarland High School, in
McFarland, California, the film stars Kevin Costner as Jim White, the
school's coach, who leads the team to win a state championship.
The film is boring and is not worth seeing.
Don't Believe Critics who have been paid off to speak positively about
