Ending To the high school football films

Rating: Null/10 (30 March 2005)

This movie is not anything like I expected it to be. It wasn't the usual high school football movie that MTV may make. It showed the real deal.
The ending is what makes it what it is. For example in Varsity Blues, the team goes on the win every game, go to college to play, and their whole life is set. In FNL, they get a second chance to win the state championship and end up losing. It gets no more emotional than that for such a film.
It also shows the struggles of each player. Billingsly getting yelled at and abused by his father, played by Tim McGraw. (I didn't know he could act..) Boobie Miles getting hurt after being so cocky and an essential player to the team.
In the special features it has interviews with the actual players and show how they are like now. None of them are NFL players. Boobie's a garbage man. So this movie can show you that just because you a superstar once, doesn't mean it's forever.
9/10
