If you didn't like the movie...

Rating: 10/10 (19 August 2006)

I just graduated high school so I have seen the movie at four different parts of my football career.
1) I saw the movie in the theaters the summer before my junior year, so I hadn't played a down of varsity football. I expected great things. I was disappointed. I thought it was okay, but not great.
2) The night before football practice began my senior year, the team watched it at camp. I loved it. It got me so pumped up and ready to start football.
3) I made sure to watch it during my last week of football (I'm not playing college ball). It was excellent. It really, really showed the emotion and passion of HS football, far more than Remember the Titans(another excellent movie).
4) I just watched it the other night. I couldn't finish it. It made me sick. It made me miss football far too much. I couldn't take it; I had to find something else to do.
Overall, it is one of my favorite movies of all time. It truly shows the weird love-hate relationship between young men and football. If you don't like it, it's probably because you haven't played under the "Friday Night Lights".
