I rented this out last night with high expectations. the story looked good and with the added element of sport,(American football). i thought great. this should be a good watch, how wrong was I. the movie began aimlessly with a bunch of actors stumbling from scene to scene while mumbling their lines from an awful script. the story was meant to be a very emotional one about loss and tragedy, but it was so badly done, that i found myself laughing at times where i should of been swelling up or getting tears in my eyes, i kept thinking wow, this is a true story, I hope the family this is based on haven't seen this, because if i was in their shoes, I would be really offended. everything was wrong, production, script,direction(there was none), acting, terrible, aidan quinn in particular must of gave his worst performance ever, crying and whaling his way through scenes. the movie picked up a little later on when they all finally eased on the crying., but overall a bad movie on a true story that deserved more than this. if you want to see a good movie based on a true story this year check out soul surfer.
