A sweet, old school family movie. It was so much fun to hiss @ "Newman" every time he did something really bad onscreen. Very well edited. You have to cheer for the underdogs in this movie.

Martin Sheen is terrific, Luke Wilson OK, Wayne Knight bad (some of that is the writing and dull direction). I doubt even the Cartoon Network would hire Lane Garrison after his "performance."

Think Hoosiers but with orphan playing football, then add melodrama and overly processed sentimentality. The last half of the movie seemed better than the first, or it could be that my expectations dropped or I became immune to the nostalgic dialogue. The villains are predictable.
