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.

talk about slow movies

This thing just dragged on and on. Fortunately I could jump ahead in 10 second increments. OK story but I've seen ones like it many times.. Only interesting the last 5 minutes.

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.

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.
