Wow!

Rating: 10/10 (27 December 2006)

Very good movie! Now that you have taken the kids to see their show, treat yourself to We Are...Marshall. This movie will make you cry, laugh and cheer.
Overall, the acting was exceptional with Matthew Fox and Anthony Mackie leading the way. Their performance as Red Dawson and Nate Ruffin respectively should lead to award consideration. David Staitharn, Ian McShane, January Jones and Matthew McCougnhey did a very nice job as well. Kate Mara's performance as a composite character was at best, average.
I also enjoyed the score. Love that 70s music! I also liked the pep band drum beat during some of the critical football scenes. It will get your adrenaline going.
You likely know how the story ends but the journey that McG takes you on is worth 2 hours and 7 minutes of your life. Don't miss this one in the theaters!
