Save your $

Rating: 4/10 (10 October 2004)

This movie was dismally lame. First of all, the football portions of the movie weren't even done that well. The camera work sucked. Enough with the god-damn close ups already you terrible excuse for an oliver stone wanna-be.
The story is about the most predictable, pressed and manufactured, cookie cutter story imaginable. (What little of it there is.) The jack-ass that gets injured permanently is almost impossible to feel sorry for. Maybe they didn't want me to feel sorry for him. I don't know. The other guy whose dad hates him is just as tough to feel sorry for because he is a LOSER. You strive for mediocrity, and you aren't even good enough to achieve that, you deserve to die alone. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, obviously. I love Billy Bob Thornton, but he only gets minimal exposure in this movie as compared to what he should have gotten being the team's head coach. One last thing, to the quarterback of that team, How could you possibly have sex with someone who is only having sex with you to prove you aren't gay. I think you are gay. Anyone straight would have spit in that ho's face.
