Crossing the Line

As a fan of Terry Farrell, I went into this movie with no expectations, just an open mind. As a Dad, I find the message was a good one: when is it too much when parents get involved with their child's sports?

While much can ride on a child's future when it comes to scholarships, there is a clear point when people cross the line - and our kids pay. A good lesson here for all to learn.

There have been many examples in the news over the years that are well reflected in this thoughtful movie.

Just don't hold the quick move camerawork against it. Well done to the cast and crew for this great flick. Highly recommended.

Being me.. I like watching movies. So I'm down chatting with my mother and she was watching this here movie. Well as it usually happens... I got hooked. It has a great storyline and what have you. The story is of course about what happens when Parents act like children at sporting events. This one being basketball.

But I did find the fast forwarding crap to be rather distracting. Sure some nut musta figured. "Shoot... have 2 hours to fill... gotta use the fast forward gimmick. It doesn't work.

I enjoy a good sports story and this was a good story. The world of high school basketball in the USA is a big time business and this story highlights the good and ugly side. The camera work wasn't the best but it was at least watchable. I love watching characters. for me other than the main star I really enjoyed watching the guy playing the College scout. I would have liked to see him meet the dad and discuss what he saw for his daughter. I also saw the guy who played the scout recently in How to Lose a Guy in 10 days. He played a basketball fan in that one. I looked in the credits but I couldn't find it. How come he didn't get a credit. I wanted to see what other movies he's been in. Oh well. Anyway a great movie.
