The spirit of an entire town is gone when they lose their college football team in a plane crash

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2007)

A wonderfully inspiring film, very sentimental; my hankie was thoroughly wet at the end as I had tears of sorrow and joy falling throughout; the character of Jack was so upbeat and caring, as were others, that it truly warmed my heart. The fact that the depictions included many shots of men letting their emotions out, even to the point of crying, was very cathartic to many, I'm sure. Seeing different races bonding so closely was good to see too. The Christian references were much appreciated, especially in this day and age. I don't know much about football so I guess the extreme physicality of the sport was accurately filmed as it made me wince repeatedly. All in all, I feel this film offered great subject matter, fine acting performances and enjoyable cinematography.
