Saw a Special Screening in Philly last night--pretty decent sports movie! And I'm not a High School football nut! Very entertaining and contains a lot of action. The Rock has come a long way since those 'Scorpion' days or whatever it was he played years back. This film actually has a good little story.
Long and short of it, the movie takes a very 2006 look at what's going on in the lives of some of America's young, urban, and mixed up youth. I cannot remember another Hollywood sports vehicle that has presented these themes in this fashion in the last 20 years.
Not a 2-D, 'I've seen this team before' movie... It wasn't the typical Disney sports flick that sometimes has a 100% rosy view of the world(not that there's anything wrong with that) :). This film does not hold back anything.
Just mixed up people, families, and situations---pretty much what happens on the streets today and whats been going on for a long time.
Don't know if the film will make it in middle America, but enough people will probably make this movie a success.
Good time...go see it for yourself!
