just football

Rating: 4/10 (31 August 2005)

This movie is all about football. Its based on a true story about a 1988 high school football team in Texas who is expected by the town to win states.Unlike Remember the Titans there is no other story. It doesn't have any extra plot elements like the racial differences. Also it was a little hard to follow - unlike in Remember the Titans where you see a little bit about each game in the normal season Friday Night Lights shows three games of the regular season. So you're supposed to assume that they played as well as other teams. I was very disappointed in this movie because it had been rated highly. It shows how much football means to the town. The story was very boring because there were no dynamic characters. You got to know the main characters a little bit. It didn't evoke any emotion from me whatsoever watching it. Its hard to relate to the characters because none of them have a personality. I would definitely NOT recommend this unless you only want to watch football.
