Are you ready for some football? This is a great movie because it has something that appeals to men and women. It is the story of a coach and a small football team as they go up against a superior team. It shows how the coach motivates the players to do something bigger than themselves--to pull together and rely on a higher power to win the game. The whole time the coach is trying to do the right thing with his team he and his wife are struggling with infertility, finances, and his desire to be a good provider. This is a total tear-jerker but you still feel really good when the movie is over. It isn't an Oscar winning actor performance but the screenplay is award worthy. You don't see enough of these good-natured films in the theaters. Now available on DVD or at Blockbuster. Two Thumbs up!
