Sandra Bullock in her prime...

Rating: 7/10 (1 January 2010)

Trite? Yes. A sports movie? Yes. Cute kids? Yes. Superficial plot? Yes. All the things that point to a mediocre film? Yes.
That said, this is a wonderful Sandra Bullock film - not anything you have to think about too much to enjoy - just lean back, dip your hand into some faux buttered popcorn and enjoy a couple of hours of relaxation - some grins, some laughs, some tears, some hoping the good guys win...
High art? No. Oscars? No. Rave reviews by the high and mighty newspaper reviewers? No.
That said, I can only say that this film is total enjoyment - no effort watching, just pleasure, escape and all the other wonderful things that make the real world disappear.
Plus, the story is true (with a bit of dramatic license)...
