Great Drama & Many Laughs

Rating: 10/10 (15 January 2007)

My wife and I saw it over the holidays and we both thought it was one of the best dramatic movies ever! It was impossible not to at least have watery eyes during some of the scenes. From what I know about the history of the events, this was a very accurate film. I remember hearing about the tragedy when I was young, but it wasn't anything that affected me then, no more than any other sad news. I found myself wondering how I would feel if it had been MY team that crashed.
I was surprised there were as many funny scenes as there were. They greatly added to the overall impact of the movie.
This was a most powerful story. You don't have to love Marshall, or football to feel moved by this story.
