Shocked and amazed

Rating: 10/10 (4 February 2007)

I was shocked and amazed that this movie made a "football believer" out of me. I was die-hard anti-football until I watched this movie and learned that I just didn't know what football was really about. Taking time to set up this story allowed me to see that football is a noble game that brings happiness and success to folks that don't have much to celebrate. It's what made the folks in South Philly get up in the morning and go to work. It's what makes failures feel like winners and that if you work hard enough, you can make your dreams come true. Good job to the writer, actors, and director of this movie. It's an age old story, but here's the difference; it was a football movie that made me shed a tear. That's amazing.
