A brief account of how this movie affected me

Rating: Null/10 (29 November 2004)

I purchased this film under the impression it would be one of those inspirational sports movies that sadly i cant get enough of.... These expectations were rightly met, i enjoyed the sports sequences and the sense of passion and joy being in a team brings to a sports fan like myself. I loved 'Remember The Titans' and i think fans of that film should pay attention to this one. I was weary however that the fact the characters were kids my hopes would be dampered by poor performances, but i got to say, i loved that team! They cracked a grin on my face every time. !!!!SPOILER!!!!! Then it gets you, now I'm not saying i don't get emotional watching films, of course i do, but this film made me cry! i don't mind admitting it, it made me cry! I challenge any one to watch it and not be suffering from teary eyes by the end. It got me personally twice; During the funeral scene i was welling up, as were those around me, and then, just when i thought i had my emotions under control they go and put their black arm bands on! I was off again!
This film surpassed my expectations and has left a mark on me, i would recommend it highly.
