The movie is well done and well worth seeing! It is both inspirational and emotional. There are funny moments too. The commentary from the panel of directors and participant winners (including Lance) is a nice added touch. When I see movies like this I'm seeking inspiration and a tug at the heart saying to myself, "I wonder if I could do that!" This movie is good for adults and kids because it demonstrates excellent sportsmanship while still being one of the most competitive events in the nation. Go see it!
This is one of the best directed films I have seen. It is brilliant movie making. However, the film is full of abuse including torture, child abuse and wife abuse. It is hard to watch at times and you can't help but think that all of this really goes on in our world. So the movie is HEAVY! I wish I could say that the love story and great acting compensated for the distress I felt over the harsh themes of the movie, but in my opinion it did not. So if you go to this movie, at least you will know what to expect.
Fabulous and much better than expected! The producers so easily could have made a "fashion statement" movie knowing no matter what they did, it would be a hit because of the show. But they didn't do that. They gave you everything you expected- incredible fashion, raunchiness similar to the series, humor, great acting, clever script, and a real storyline. I laughed hard and cried hard in this movie. There was real raw emotion in this film and was NOT what I expected to see. It was actually thought-provoking regarding friendships, marriage and all types of relationships. All in all, my friend and I thought it was one of the best movies in a long time. Men will like it too and women will absolutely LOVE it!
