Excellent movie

Rating: 10/10 (13 December 2006)

This movie has it all. You will laugh and you will cry. To call this a sports movie is not at all accurate, as it is about the resurgence of a community and it's beloved team. As goes the football program, so goes this community. It's as if they are one.
When the crash occurs, the city is just as devastated as the team. While the football program lost most of it's players and coaches, the city lost doctors, teachers, fans, and the like.
It is about the story of the city and the university being steadfast and, together, deciding that it must strap on the boots and take the first step forward. The results are amazing.
The human spirit is portrait in a most positive light in the film. Like the proverbial Phoenix, this is a real life rise from the ashes. And, oh yes, It's all true.
