    This was a Very Good Movie

    I am not really into watching television, but this show Just caught my Eye. Wayne Brady Was Just Great, and as for Andrew Lawrence,as Jason"Jace"Newfield, WOW, what can I say. He played the part Superbly In This Gals Opinion.... I very much also enjoyed Billy Aaron Brown as John Lambrix. They both started off as Chip on the shoulder type MACHO JOCKS, but ended on a GREAT note...

    I recommend anyone who enjoys GOOD wrestling School Movies to WATCH this one.. Thanks, PTEYES1

    Surprisingly Good...

    I thought it would be cheesy being a Disney channel movie, but it was really good. I think Andrew Lawrence has a bright future as an actor. I was about to write him off as another Lawrence brother, but I think he's the most talented of the three. He played a blind kid very very well. His movements and his affects were very believable and he delivered his lines very well.

    The story was pretty entertaining and the portrayal of the blind was pretty original, too. You don't see wrestling featured in high school movies very often, let alone consider it a sport the blind can participate in. And it was nice to see things like beeping backboards in basketball as another way to incorporate the blind into everyday things they usually couldn't have participated in before. I also really loved the music featured in the movie, especially the guitar pieces "Jace" played. It's definitely worth taping if you can catch one of the repeats.

    Extremely cutie and Cutie...

    Jace is new to school, and he's also blind. He tries to excel in music class by showing off his talent on the drums, only to discover that his teacher is also blind. He soon discovers that to be accepted you have to be an athlete, so he joins the wrestling team.

    Edit synopsis

    Beautiful little film, with a simple, exciting and efficient script, which I even thought was another biography like so many others that Disney always makes that captivate us and make us cry and make our hearts warm, with beautiful lessons in morals and overcoming difficulties, friendship, family, humility and union... The Lawrence brothers' cutie and Khleo Thomas' cutie... s2.. Extremely cutie and Cutie...

    simple but a convincing act

    I have watched the movie..the main character..what was his name?...'Jace'something..played by Andy Lawrence..never heard the name before but his face looks so familiar..no wonder..the Lawrences. Anyway..the story is simple (since it's a Disney) and happy ending..of course..but this young man acted well as a blind person..it looks kind of convincing enough..a blind person tried to do some wrestling...nice job!!..a good start for a newcomer..he played guitar and drum too in this movie..plus Wayne Brady played some serious character..a blind music teacher (why ALL blind people know how to play ALL kind of music stuff??)..which kind of weird but good to watch. Watch it if u'v got any chance..

    Poignant Story

    Going to mat is about a blind boy, Jace (Jason) who moves from New York City to Hicksville (no offense). With a big chip on his shoulder as the cool kid, he tries unsuccessfully to intermix with the other kids. His one friend, "Fly", played well by Khleo Thomas gets Jace into wrestling. After several unsuccessful attempts, Jace finally succeeds and becomes the champ. This is a Disney movie. Which about says it all. There is not a lot of drama, Jace (played by Andrew Lawrence) gives a very believable performance, then again so do all Disney films. As with all Disney films, its all good, nothing too bad and always smiling (if not crying) at the end. 2 out of 5 stars.

    • Trivia
      At the beginning, Jace tells a kid he just met to call him Daredevil. Jace is also blind and wears red. Most likely this is an homage to the Marvel superhero Daredevil.

      The organ seen in the beginning of the pipe organ but sounds like an electric organ like for baseball games.
    • Quotes

      John Lambrix: You don't get it, do you? This isn't just a sport for me. It's who I am! It's all I've got. Unlike you I don't do music. All right? I stink at school. I mean, you take away wrestling... I don't even know who I am. How sad is that?
