One of the best sports movies of all time

Rating: Null/10 (1 October 2004)

I am in a cinema class that shows movies before they come out, and I was fortunate enough to see this wonderful movie. Great acting by the young players, decent performance by Tim McGraw, and a great job by Billy Bob Thornton who plays the coach of a high school football team that the whole town leans on. Remarkable, and although far less grittier than the book, still a great performance and a must see for any football or sports fan. No spoilers, but look for the man standing next to Boobie in the last locker room sequence. It's not just other guy, but the actual Boobie that used to play for the team. Great acting, great movie, two thumbs up.
