    Mediocre at best and I don't need organized religion disguised as a movie to be shoved down my throat. Want my 2 hours back.....

    Just the kind of perfect MOVIE for our young people today. Clean language and morals above what most people seem to be OK with these days . We all should have had tis kind of COACH. LIFE COACH that is!!!

    I was very impressed with the movie. I loved the integrity that the coach and team showed. I loved the football action. The best part is that this is a true story and is almost unbelievable that they one that many games in a row.

    I love this movie. Seeing God's principles on display is good for people to see.

    The messages are positive in this film and the coach depicted has a wonderful leadership philosophy, but I just about fell asleep during the first half of the film. Other than Chiklis, the performances are drab and predictable. Laura Dern is completely wasted in the "wife" role. I also thought the film was lit very poorly, with the exception of the gridiron scenes. I love sports movies, especially football movies, but this was a huge disappointment. The only reason I gave it 2 stars was for the football sequences.
