Feel Good Movie

Rating: 9/10 (5 October 2004)

A lot of the movie was full of foreshadowing. It was fun to watch and it was all based upon a real story. The entire town the team is from is one of those small town football towns. The local businesses close down for games, and travel many miles to got to the championships. It seems like half of the town has their own championship rings. When the star player is injured it's the responsibility of everyone to step up, and grow through their pains on and off the field. A really wild role for Tim McGraw, he was playing a drunken out of control dad who wanted his son to win. Pushing him farther and farther away from him. The whole movie was about dealing with ones abilities and disabilities and finding a role for ourselves.
Overall the movie is the typical sports related movie. A lot of pure stupid lines and Illegal tackles, penalties, nothing that could really happen without any kind of repercussions from the officials. Almost every event are able to be pretty much be seen from a mile away. The one player they flash on the screen the entire first 10-15 minutes, the one that no one can be without, and injury happens. The over zealous family member trying to push their son / daughter into the winners circle.
