This is the worst movie I have ever seen. It drags on for much too long and has characters that are so dull and plain that I can not remember any of their names even though I just saw this movie earlier today.

It drags on for much too long and has characters that are so dull and plain that I can not remember any of their names even though I just saw this movie earlier today. The movie also has a habit of trying to tackle heavy subjects such as cancer, murder, strokes, and child abuse; but doing so with such sloppiness that it comes of as darkly funny rather than sad. Another odd thing the movie had was its Christian undertones. For most of the movie it wasn't too obvious but near the end it just got weirdly blatant. Seriously, don't see this movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a football movie, just like any other football movie you know the underdogs always wins. I was also forced to watch this movie. I have seen other football movies such as facing the giants and all that jazz. But having a predictable plot and ending is just a slap on the d i c k. The beginning starts with a sucky a s s coach that has probably seen the inside of a girls locker room (if you know what i mean). He's such a f u c k i n g downer that i didn't even want to watch the rest of this ,what felt like, student made feel-good film. The acting is what i would describe as an elderly person falling down a flight of stairs, a miracle, lol jk a f u c k i n g disaster. This movie didn't need to be made. Whoever had the idea of some sh i tty football team the miraculously became the best team in the g o dd a m n world. H e ll these guys could beat the Patriots. From the first 10 minutes of the movie i felt a spicy hot feeling in the d i c k h o l e that kept burning throughout the entire movie. Of course the coach has a child with minor brain problems. And so what that half the team did the same cheerleader and got hep-c. Oh wait wrong movie. What i meant to say was of course the team wins the big one and the coach has a stupid a s s kid finally because everyone thought he was an infertile son of a b it ch. Most of the players were not interesting and were found on the dairy side of walmart. Anyone could have put less of an effort into their role and would still have been more interesting. Yet another boring a s s movie that wasted an hours most of my life that i cant have back. Thanks coach fuhkboi. just dont watch this movie, i would rather you watch the star wars holiday special or anything. Please, for shrek. Thanks for the pepperoni pizza-yours truly-coach's down-syndrome bb… Expand

I for one am tired of movies that are based on true storys and have to do with sports if i wanted to watch anything like that i would watch ESPN or sports center. This movie is one of the most boring movies i have ever seen in my life i cantI for one am tired of movies that are based on true storys and have to do with sports if i wanted to watch anything like that i would watch ESPN or sports center. This movie is one of the most boring movies i have ever seen in my life i cant begin to explain the agony i went through watching this movie just went i thought it was over it would cut to another scene in a sweaty locker room with a bunch of roided out jocks talking about how they needed to win another game. The only thing i can remeber is how there team was on a winning streak and they list then they brought it back.......what......you where expecting more....nope...i wonder what how bad the director had downsyndromne to think that people should come to a set and waist time with this movie. This movie even has some random black guy getting shot while in his car waiting on a friend to get out of a party and the quater back having an abusive father and both were so poorly directed i couldnt have cared less and in the end the quarter back throws away a world record of most scored touch downs because that record belongs to the coach and i really didnt care. Just whatever you do dont see this movie actually any copys if the movie you see you should burn.… Expand
