The movie that makes you cheer for the underdogs!

Rating: Null/10 (22 September 2000)

This film is one of the few out there that I have heard nothing but positive remarks on. But what has made HOOSIERS stand the test of time? Let's talk about the music. From the opening scene to the closing credits, the music in this film truly captures the emotions of the viewer. You can FEEL yourself in the stands, cheering for the underdog team until you lose your voice. You want to reach out and lend a hand when your heroes have their moments of pain. You can hardly contain your apprehension while the final seconds tick off the clock. But what about the story? Timeless. Who doesn't want to hear about a team that beats the odds? Some of us have had moments like this in our own lives, and some wish they could have been a part of one. HOOSIERS gives an open invitation for viewers to share the glory. I loved this movie for two main reasons. The first is, NO ONE IS THE LONE HERO. _Everyone_ gets a chance to shine in their own way, like a true team effort should. As Gene Hackman states, "No one more important than the other." The next reason, I just want to rewind it and watch it over again the second it ends. But judge for yourself - give HOOSIERS a try.
