An Excellent Movie

Rating: 9/10 (24 March 2001)

Sure, it may be the typical underdog sports movie, and the typical underdog football movie. And some may think that the racial issues are the only thing different. While that may be true in some aspects, this movie is just plain wonderful. I almost didn't see this movie. I saw the Replacements, but I passed on this one until now. I'm glad I picked it up this time. They say there are no small parts, just small actors. Well, there were none of those in this movie. Everyone from Denzel Washington to Ethan Suplee was at their best. This movie was sad, happy, exciting and entertaining. I usually have some bad comments on movies, but not this one. And I really don't like football.
