Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: The movie is supposed to take place around the time of Hanukkah, which can occur from late November to late December. The kids are often dressed in winter coats and scarves, but there are leaves on the trees, the shrubs are in full foliage, and the grass is green. The leaves are usually gone from the trees in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where the movie is supposed to take place, by the end of October. more

I loved this positive movie!!!!!!!!, 3 February 2006
10/10
Author: skinnervic from Costa Rica

My computer connection went down for awhile so I flipped on the boob tube & there on HBO was "Full Court Miracles" - a WONDERFUL FEEL GOOD - POSITIVE movie about believing, hope, inspiration & not giving up!!

Alex Linz just wouldn't give up in HIS PASSION - despite being short & not that good & despite his mother attempting to break him down/squelch his dreams (for her OWN dreams for him! Why do SOOOOO MANY parents do that to their kids???).

Richard T. Jones had such compassion!

We NEED LOTS more movies out there like this!!!

THANX to ALL involved in the making of this movie!!!!
