This movie moved me ....to get up and shut it off

Rating: 1/10 (28 October 2007)

My wife and I watched about 25 minutes of this "based on a true story so amazing it had to be made into a movie" and had to bail. I believe the people in this town are bizarre, even if this is accurate. All they think is football, football, football? Come on! There is more to life people!! In one pep talk we had to endure, the coach told his team that they were "protectors of their town", from what??!! Protectors from "things that really matter"? Because when it comes down to it people, football is just a GAME. But for some reason it gets treated with fanaticism. If this was a chess team would this movie be taken as seriously? Anyways, I hated the 25 minutes I watched and can't believe they made this junk into a TV show.
