I saw this movie at a screening and was going with the idea of yeah OK
ill go see it... its free. Wow... I was pleasantly surprised with this
un-promoted film. I feel this didn't get enough TV ad time as it should
have as I fell that this is one of the best football films made. It
will make any fan and any family member of a player appreciate the game
that much more. It goes to show what the teens really go through to be
the best in the game and how the loss effects the team and how they
need to get over the loss and move on. With todays society and the "no
one looses" "participation trophys" this film is a must. Show the
character effects of how people need to LOOSE and over come it versus
no everyone wins. Pretty close film to "undefeated" but better.
