    One of the Worst Movies Ever Made

    Started watching this film because I literally thought it was a parody/comedy of one of those "inspirational" sports movies. My jaw dropped at how every cliché in the history of bad moviemaking had it's box checked. Then there is the "acting" of Amin Joseph. Oh, my, God! Maybe the worst thing ever recorded. The most unnatural and misguided performance ever. Look, I get it, true story, at least based on one. You are supposed to be inspired. But you can't hide behind that and tell people they should be inspired when the movie is this awful. The product has to be watchable. This is only watchable from an MST3K perspective. I was angry at how this director took a story that should have inspired and turned it in to something you had to watch while constantly shaking your head in disbelief. Garbage.
