Inspirational and educational --the perfect movie!

Rating: 10/10 (10 September 2016)

You think; "cross country?" ~smirk~ But, eventually you get around to watching this great movie because, it has Costner in it...Wow what a great movie! It makes me chuckle a bit to think I would EVER say that about anything to do with cross country running...
Of course, these types of movies are formulaic, in that normal pathway of "feel good movies"...But, the formula works. No matter how jaded I am after a half century of life. You can't but help to feel good about those who rise above their station and persevere through hardships and challenge the paradigm...
This story embodies all that makes this country great. It shows that hard work most often pays off...It also shows that no matter what you come up against, dig in, grit your teeth and maybe you'll get a little stronger...
Watch the movie if you haven't already, you'll have a big grin when it's over and you'll be inspired and educated just a bit more...Those are always good attributes of any endeavor...Respect to all and one love!
