Exciting!

Rating: Null/10 (23 November 2004)

I recommend this movie to you even if you are not a football fan. I myself who before seeing this movie thought football was a ridiculous waste of time, enjoyed it very much. At first I really thought the crowd and the importance of this football team was highly exaggerated considering it was only highschool football. Later I was informed that football in the states does indeed get that intense. The movie kept me interested and excited the whole way through. Which for me is very unusual. I often have trouble watching a full movie. I also look at football differently now and I have more of an interest for the sport. The only thing about the movie I was not a fan of was the age of the so called "17 year old" players. These "17 year olds" were clearly at least over twenty. Some even may be over the age of thirty. When I saw the players in the championship game of the other team I laughed to myself and thought no way are these guys 17. But I understand for it is a challenge to find talented 17 year old actors. But overall I give "Friday Night Lights" a 9/10 and I will definitely be purchasing it when it comes out on film.
