Not really a football movie

Rating: 6/10 (9 May 2012)

When this movie drifts into football it becomes totally predictable and boring. The game on the screen is necessarily fixed and staged. There is no tension as in a real athletic contest. It is like watching a re-run. You have seen the same plot formula 100 times before.
Happily, most of this movie is not about playing football.
The Sandra Bullock character is great fun, a take off on the bossy competent southern woman. She is SO audacious I burst out laughing time and time again.
The Quinton Aaron character holds very little interest.
The plot is completely predictable and sugary.
The most writing originality was Michael's little "brother" negotiating with college football coaches.
I watched this movie because Sandra Bullock was in it. That is the main reason to watch it.
