Are you ready for some football of the high school variety?

Rating: 9/10 (26 October 2004)

This unpretentious little movie really rocks! It really captures the essence of Texas high school football. Billy Bob Thornton as the head coach of the Panthers proves he is a bankable actor once again. The supporting cast is also brilliant and includes Lucas Black, teaming with Billy Bob again, as the quarterback, and country singing superstar Tim McGraw, of all people, as the nasty dad to one of the players. Catch this football flick while you can! True football aficionados will not be disappointed with the action on the gridiron, either. The actors have the jukes and twists and blocks down pat, which stands for point after touch my friends, just in case you didn't know. Billy Bob Thornton may not be nominated for an Oscar for this flick but he does have screen presence that commands your attention.
