I laughed, I cried, I sat on the edge of my seat and I cheered!
I'm a huge Sean Astin fan and I've been trying to see all his recent movies in theaters. I'm so glad my insane fandom brought to a Theater in Salem Oregon to experience this great film. I was not expecting much because I hadn't heard much about this flick. I have only seen it once and yet I have multiple quotes that have stuck with me. The editing was fantastic, the way it delt with memories. I laughed, I cried, I sat on the edge of my seat and I cheered! I really hope more people see this powerful piece of cinema. Hopefully I can get a friend to drag me to a second showing. It better be released on Blu Ray cause I want it.
There is one glaring issue with this picture and it's that there simply isn't enough Sean Astin. But I am glad he got to be apart of this movie in any way. And of course there are the sports genre cliches, which can lead to predictable outcomes. But the heart and the relationships outweigh those small issues. Modine is fantastic in this, he and this movie inspired me. And that's rare in movies nowadays.
