This is the story of a young man whose father didn't want him playing college ball because in his younger days, his dad went from college hero to a joke because of one bad play (referred to again and again as his 'boner'). However, the father eventually relents...and Marty (Herman Brix) has problems at his college that are not his fault. What's next for him? See the film...or, better yet....don't.

The reason I watched "Two Minutes to Play" is that is starred Herman Brix (later, changing his name to Bruce Bennett) AND it should have been a film right in his element....as he plays a college athlete and in real life, Brix was a major amateur sports star. He excelled at football and track & field and even took home a silver medal for the shotput at the 1928 Olympics. Now I've seen him in quite a few films already...but this is the first film I saw of his where he played an athlete.

I was amazed by this film for two reasons. First, Brix didn't actually do that much athletically in the film. A lot of the footage is stock footage and there are only a few sports scenes with him in it. Second, the film was boring beyond belief and was very amateurish. Brix wasn't bad...but the writing certainly was. It was full of cliches and the dialog was pretty dreadful. Overall, a film that should have been better...but certainly wasn't.
