Friday Night Lights

Rating: 10/10 (15 March 2006)

Hey guys, I have to say this was an absolutely perfect film. There is no point reading about some loser who picks out every flaw in the movie, who cares? Buzz Bissinger came to Odessa in '88 to depict a bunch of kids at Permian who love football. It captured a transition of these young boys to fine men, but the book also showed hatred, race and economical depression. Here, in Odessa, most despise the book so I think that it's good that the movie didn't really follow the same direction as the book. Great football scenes, good acting (especially Winchell, God that kid was nervous), overall fantastic film that really encaptualated what it meant to play for Permian
