"Ite missa est": as if suddenly Gavin O'Connor had become the 3rd of the Kendrick brothers and even the most clumsy (zoomings, slow motions, direction effects of the past millennium), and with a redemption of Ben Affleck that would like to be taken literally, between cassocks and prayers. Weir's eponymous film from a decade ago arouses nostalgia. If the future of cinema is a serialized photocopy, I wish its lockdown ad infinitum.… Expand

This movie should be watched in the same state of mild-to-severe alcohol induced somnolence that Ben Affleck spends half of the time in it or as a replacement to a mediocre NBA game.

There is nothing wrong with that. It's just not cinema, not even entertainment. It's distraction.… Expand

About all the viewer learns is that Jack(Affleck)finished high school, got married, had a son who dies from Leukemia, separated from his wife, became a high rise construction worker and a drunk (not a good combination). If he was a decent guy who just couldn't handle the problems life has thrown at him, I could show a little sympathy, but this guy is a foul-mouthed jerk. Even when he's asked to return to his high school to coach the basketball team because the coach has suffered a heart attack, he refuses to ease off of his drinking and continues to use the foulest language imaginable out on the court, in front of the crowd and the teams of impressionable high school kids. The assistant coaches quietly tell him that there is a code of conduct for teachers and students and he says he'll try to tone it down, but he never does. Please remember; this is a movie about a Catholic high school basketball team. They pray to God, through Jesus Christ before every game. I don't care for Ben Affleck's political views, and that's alright. I can put those aside for the Hollywood crowd. What I can't put aside is a movie that depicts Christianity as a joke. Shame on Affleck for making this movie.… Expand
