Don't look for a hockey school, look for a feel good film.

Rating: Null/10 (4 March 2004)

This is a film where Kurt Russel proves that he is not just "Cap'n Ron." He stretches, and works a magic I haven't noticed from him in the past. This effort by him, to learn Brooks' mannerisms, the vocal inflections, the nuances that set Brooks apart, makes you realize what (besides the unlikely ensemble success) makes this an inspiring movie.
The film was assembled with archived footage and several old ABC clips which are seemlessly integrated and adds a level of reaLITY and authenticity to this. This is not a Scholastic film or an AAU archive this is a production that is accurate (mostly) and has that seldom used (or found) quality of drawing you in. You should stand a cheer, you should feel the exhileration, and you should believe in 'Miracles.'
