Wise up Hollywood and make more movies like this! I haven't read the book yet but and I'm not sure how close to the real story this is but it was a very entertaining movie. A group of high school senior football players sat behind us with their coaches and they all loved it. It is good for adults and teens, but may be a little much for young kids. Great message in the movie and a good build up of the story before the football begins. 2 hours sounds long but you don't notice it. Sandra Bullock is excellent. I got to view an early screening with my little brother made available to Big Brothers Big Sisters. He really liked it a lot.
