Entertaining enough but.......

I read all the reviews here and agree with practically all of them, from the poorly rated to the highest rated. All I kept thinking throughout the film once the audience learns about the heart condition, is why is this kid allowed to play football at all? No school would sign that acceptance and take the insurance risk.

Also at the end of the movie when the superintendent reveals the vote that there were three votes for the coach and four with the super, does that mean he's back in? Usually the board consists of 5-7 individuals but that part wasn't clear to me. Or maybe that is when I didn't care anymore.

Lead actor held my interest so I kept watching for him, The mock courtroom was a joke.

Amen.

Brad Leland was great

Brad Leland was great as always but the plot, the acting, the story was awful. Even Leland couldn't save this disaster of the movie

Ignore the bad reviews

The movie is interesting, while also being very sad. It is a little bit slow at some parts but it picks up.

Poor movie

First of all this should be rated PG-13 with the language. I thought it was "wholesome" as one reviewer said. It was not. Also the acting was poor, casting was bad and story was slow. Unrealistic in many ways and just was a poor poor movie.

Wah Wah Wah suck it up butter cups

Too many people complain that they are worked too hard or too long. This is what builds character and disipline. I for one am glad I had people to push me and make me into the person I am today. Some times things happen out of our control. In fact the number of people that die every year trying to get into the military or marines would blow your mind.

This movie is a sad realization of this type of thing. It it is sad that this coaches dreams were shattered because of a mother that couldn't control her emotions.

Trivia
Brad Leland was on one episode of Parks and Recreation, but never met Jim O'Heir while shooting. This was their first time on screen together and meeting each other.

Goofs
A Plaintiff or Defendant in a civil lawsuit can not legally serve the other legal documents personally. Which happens when the mother of the son who died delivered legal documents to the Head Coach.
