Like a sexual encounter of a short kind

Rating: 4/10 (7 March 2020)

The movie is old-fashioned, but well made, acting is good, thre are some great actors at their debut and that's a nice surprise. A good choice for a Sunday evening, when you need to boost your motivation for the working week that is about to start.
So the film nicely builds on this idea of the small guy dreaming to play professional football, and on how he compensates with his stubborn attitude and amazing resistance to the ridicule he has to take from everyone, because absolutely no one (except for one close childhood friend that dies) believed in him.
So I was preparing for the orgiastic ending, when he does the impossible and kicks some crap in the game, and the script nicely lured me to expect that, and then...27 seconds of being let to play out of pitty, when it didn't matter anymore, as Notre Dame had already won.
In fact, the movie helps a guy remember those occasions when a beautiful girl accepted unconvinced to have sex with him, and he proved she was right not to be convinced...
