Not very good

Rating: 3/10 (22 February 2005)

I don't see where the hype is for this film. My local store had 50 of them and they were all rented out for weeks.
The entire film was shot through what I call a tunnel-vision cam; that is, extreme close-ups and a cameraman who is constantly moving around (stop giving that guy coffee). I got The acting was great on BBT (of course) and pretty good on the rest. The story was fine, and it was refreshing to see the ending.
The film did an excellent job of showing the intense pressures placed on the coach & players. But had little else.
The special feature on the real players, though a great opportunity to show the real life characters, did a mediocre job. Most of the featurette was spent on clips from the film.
