Honoring the Dead and the Living

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2006)

In a world where cynicism reigns and any sincerity is regarded as corny "We Are Marshall" chose to honor a town and ignore the critics. May reviews I have read spoke about how corny the movie was but I can only believe that it is because of the prevailing cynicism of our society. The characters were believable and I had no problem laughing and crying with them. There were even times in the movie where I felt like clapping along with the fans. "We Are Marshall" can take it's place among other great sports movies like "Hoosiers" and "Miracle". So go see the movie, and continue to remember the town that rose from the ashes and helped each other recover from great tragedy.
