NOT a sports fan and still loved it

Rating: Null/10 (21 February 2004)

I am not a sports fan and for me to be able to sit in a theatre and watch hockey (!) for 135 minutes is quite unbelievable. But, this movie is about more than hockey - it is about dreams coming true and young people being pushed beyond what you would ever think would be possible for them. They accomplish the impossible, basically - and that is pretty amazing. And I am a sucker for true stories. This is the real thing. But, then again, I LOVED "The Rookie" as well - and am not a baseball fan either - so what do I know?
