okay but sappy movie!

Rating: 6/10 (20 April 2014)

Draft Day is well written, and directed movie. The story and characters are okay. Kevin Costner deals with the pressures of the owner, coach, and personal problems when dealing with the N F L draft. The question of can the General Manager create his own team? Costner is forced to deal, and create more deals to get the team Costner believes will win. Rival general managers try to out wit each other. Personal clashes, and questions arise. Is the first pick overall Callahan the real deal or a bust? Will the injured quarterback be able to return? These are the un-measurable x factors of sport. One experiences the pressures and uncertainty of N F L management. One sees the manager's success is based on both skill and luck! Six out of ten stars.
