Awesome movie

Rating: 10/10 (27 October 2007)

Okay. I come from Australia and I saw this movie in 2004, it was awesome. I downloaded it in 2007, saw it around 7 times, then had to watch the TV series first season about 4 times over to fully understand the movie. I have read multiple reviews, and I really don't get why people were so picky. So Boobie was FB, Chavo was TE or whatever, numbers were whacked and they lost to Dallas in State in the movie and not semis or whatever in real life I didn't care. I mean, as far as I see it, if Peter Berg had stuck to the real story completely boring. The way he made it was to entertain the viewer. The story makes you feel vulnerable. Boobie was probably destined to play NFL TB or FB; and whack... one stupid move and he's career's down the tubes. Mike Winchell was previously "blessed" with Boobie in the team, and now he's gone, everything in the teams going to change. All in all this is an excellent movie, the development of the characters, like Charles Billingsley (Don's father), Don himself, Boobie finally being less arrogant, and Mike, becoming an even better QB, but also his personality. It is ironic how Mike is portrayed as one who is internal and never smiles, yet at the end, he throws the ball to a bunch of young kids and he smiles. it's even more ironic that the kid who catches the ball wears ##45. Boobie's number.
