Very touching *spoilers*

Rating: 9/10 (7 July 2005)

Well, what more can you say about a movie that was very good, while trying to maintain the realism a true story should have.
Friday night lights was a very good film. Billy Bob Thorton showed us just how much versatility he has as his role as coach Gaines.
This movie has something for everyone, I enjoyed the excitement and competition that came from watching a sport as well as the story line that went along with it.
There were many moral lessons in the story as well, including the message of 'school work before sports'. Derek Luke convincingly played the role of a cocky high school sports all star, easily playing a role well below his age. This movie truly was enjoyable.
