Hard to find a good mivie on Netflix, but this one is a gem!

I grew up in Harrison and I was so touched by this film. Growing up with the real Marty, I saw a soft spoken and gentle soul. I never knew the hardships of his family dynamics. I cried and laughed through the whole film and was moved that this family opened up to be transparent for the world to see. When leaving the theater, most were crying and saying that they loved it. From a retired high school counselor's view, this is a must see for our youth. The struggles they deal with need to be seen as motivation and not stumbling blocks. This is an encouraging message to all! Brandon not only worked hard academically and athletically, he stood firm in his values and morals. I hope this message resonates loud to the audience to not be afraid of going against what is popular for the greater good.

This movie popped up on Netflix at first glance I thought it was going to be another low rated sappy sports film, but I thought I would give it a look. First off, I don't know how anyone would give the film a rating of Less than 10. Yes, agreed, it was a bit low budget, but the message the film portrays is a bit different than some of the sappy made for TV type sports films. I had never heard about Brian Bulsworth until seeing this film, and am glad I watched it. So what if it has a spiritual twist, it seems it was true, so why wouldn't that be shown in the film. Goes to show everyone that that flashy kid that gets everything handed to them can learn a thing or two from Brandon. Highly recommended.

Have to say I really liked this movie. It is a sad story but a really has a positive message throughout. Even to this day his name lives on and inspires people all over the country. Such a good movie and well worth watching.

Well done biography with touch of eschatology and Shakespearean soul searching. Neal McDounough performs well.
