Love of football and the underdog!!

Rating: 10/10 (21 February 2006)

I love the game of football. I played it throughout high school and am now playing it in college. And this movie gave me an even greater love for football, because it gave shorter guys like me hope. Knowing that someone this short could make it that far, through his hard work and dedication, made me feel like a 5 foot 9 inch guy like me could do the same if i tried. And I just truly enjoyed the storyline and how he got his chance to play. His whole life people told him that he was too short and too skinny (not strong enough, etc.). And he ignored that, and that is why this became one of the greatest underdog stories of all time. I also enjoyed the acting by Sean Astin and all the supporting actors who made this film magical. I recommend this movie to all football fans, and especially Notre Dame or underdog fans.
